Help!! my maestro van impounded due to licence revoked

[Jeff Turbo]

sorry thats wrong...in british law the only driving offence that nullifies motor insurance is if the driver is disqualified which i'm not... had one conviction in the last 5 years doing 35mph in 30mph zone

The police said you had no licence so it's not insured. And I think you will find if you had an accident your insurance company would revoke the policy so therefor your not insured as it shouldn't be on the road with you driving it. No tax, no MOT and no licence.

i dont think you could do it for £50 and thats what ive been quoted but thanks for inquiring

A quote to pick up from somewhere in England is £50, happy days then

Shouldn't of been driving it on pubic road without tax&test, wouldn't of been happy if you ran in to back of me!!

eh mate been driving 40 years and not had an insurance claim for or against me yet...about 3 times people have bumped into me but we've sorted it ourselves cash in hand because thats the way some people like to operate

All you have to pay for now is the storage fee of something like £235 ish and a daily charge.
Best of luck

A crime is a crime, simple. I run 6 cars constantly and legally. If you can't afford or be bothered to keep it legal then hey ho, let it go.

You come on here asking for advice and help which great lads are trying to do by assisting with the trailer tasking and you are knocking them back thinking they are just out to grab your van.

You obviously don't know Mal and Jeff too well as they are genuine and would of helped if possible.

TBH, I like to help out but as others have asked the location is crucial for trailer assistance. Maybe even the insurance assistance too as people know of friendly brokers in their areas who might of helped with some form of cover.

Personally it could be on the doorstep to me but I wouldn't be helping in this matter after seeing how you trivialise your actions.

No mate, if the car gets crushed then you only have yourself to blame. Simples.
You drove on the road fully aware that it wasn't taxed or MOT'ed and got caught. The licence thing is another matter.
As Lee says we tried to help but there you go.
Best of luck with it

anyway my van is booked in for a MOT this week..its only DVLA and the police holding things up...its a pity you cant update your licence on line without all this identification bollox! i dont have a passport which they seem to favour has ID...besides in the good old days you were given a couple of weeks grace to get your road tax..they are going to get their december tax money anyway because you cant get out of it unless you declare SORN

if you have a photo card licence you need to renew it every 10years or loose it. thats the way the law works

listen it was fine how it was before all this biometric bollox...were we the people consulted about changing it? no some spotty faced little twerps sat around a table to think how can we complicate the motorists life...if i had my way id string up all the politically correct beaurocratic ******s and the world would be a far better place to live...

[maestroman23]

Any more language like this and I remove the post.
Everyone else's fault but yours eh.

MOT won't happen unless you pay up to get the van out first, and all other things that the police/DVLA need prior to that. And you didn't sorn it either?Their the bad guys aren't they for taking the van away.

And I suppose that's also someone else's fault and not yours for driving it illegally and following simple road laws.
You could always blame the cat for making you move it in the first place, yeah I'd blame the cat

[Jeff Turbo]

You see, what you should have done is insert a cat flap in one of the rear doors. Put a cat tray down with some litter so it could have gone, in house, so to speak.
Then you wouldn't have had to move it, result eh
There you are we could have helped before you had to move it, should have asked.
And the funniest thread award goes to...........

Jeff has this guy wound you up?
