Travel NI & UK post Brexit-Insurance

The Motor Insurance Bureau of Ireland announced that "The insurance disc will serve as proof of insurance to the legal authorities in the UK, including Northern Ireland.". see here

There seems to be no arrangement made for motorcycles.

Sure it's the same.

I should hardly need to point out that bike policies don't come with discs!

I think you're all reading too much into it.

I drive a motorcycle or agricultural tractor that is not required to display an insurance disc. What should I do?

If there is a ‘no deal’ Brexit, then proof of insurance cover will be required for those wishing to drive their Irish registered motorcycle or agricultural tractor vehicle in the UK, including Northern Ireland. Some of these vehicles display insurance discs and some do not.

If the vehicle has a valid Irish insurance disc, then no additional documentation is required. If the vehicle does not have a valid Irish insurance disc then it is recommended that you carry your motor insurance certificate with you or obtain a Green Card from your insurance provider.

You need to bring your insurance certificate if you go to Norn Iron now. So when they exit you will still need to carry your insurance certificate, you just won't need to get a green card.

An insurance disc means nothing to a foreign police officer today and when the UK leaves the PSNI will still require you to have an insurance certificate. I've no idea why the MIBI have published the wrong information, even the Gardai don't take the insurance disc as valid insurance you have to produce your policy

Spoke to a contact in MIBI, same as normal with bikes - carry your insurance cert, no need for green cards.
