    That...I think translates as "Give them up up to the [expletive] police (?), isn't it, old son. Er..in trouble (taking enough heat to be comparable to a cooked fish), and there's no possibility of this being incorrect, and [the police] will be coming to your house, sir. Am I right/Is this right on?"

    I'll take correction to that last bit though. :D

    Freeman on the Land folks probably don't have any tax or insurance.

    Probably would need to have a yachtmaster certificate though as they seemingly claim only admiralty or marine law are applicable to them.

    Add the cost of a replacement car if the guards (rightly) seize and crush it.

    I'd give her a deadline, op. Tell her you'll be reporting her if she hasn't sorted it out by the end of the month. Also, tell her you'll report her immediately if she uses it at all before it's legal.
    Screw that,

    douse the car in petrol and set it alight

    if she threatens to call the cops , blackmail her with the threat of reporting the lack of tax and insurance*















    *note this may be easier if you didn't destroy the evidence.

    Comprehensible to some degree. It would be equally as comprehensible as "wob them in" "zob them in" "nob them in" "bob them in" "cob them in" in that case.

    The Garda are working on the frontline.
    The teachers are working on the frontline.
    Only a wimp has insurance on the frontline.

    Actually, dont report to guards, report to the school & parents teachers association. Cant imagine parents would appreciate an uninsured driver around their kids everyday.
    And i would think that they would put more pressure to get it sorted.

    I have a lot of respect for teachers, but i would get barred from boards if i said what i actually think of uninsured, non tax etc and what should have been done to them at birth or before. And i'm holding back my true feelings on the mater.

    I sympathise. I too have all documentation in order, yet I never get to fart long and thunderously while the Peeler has his fizzog poked in the car window.

    I don't believe a Garda checkpoint would wave through a no insurance.

    They might let a no NCT or licence slide, but not insurance. If that person had a crash further down the road, you can bet the first question that would be asked of the Garda is how they let it through.

    Surely that would be just as bad as no insurance?

    If you said you had insurance but documents hadn't come in post they would wave you through, been there in that situation alot so basing that on my experience.

    No valid licence if that is what you are getting at invalidates any insurance.

    Reg to Garda or Garda confidential line. But having tax or insurance does not stop accidents.

    true but it shares the cost of everyone else paying for MIBI
    Yeah but all that happens is you get a fine and points on your licence.

    If you get caught you pay the fine. It's going to be less than two years worth of insurance.

    All the points do is cause your insurance to go up so when you don't have any they don't really mean anything.

    Or a complete ban on driving,
    If you're a good driver nothing will go wrong. Any damage to your car would be caused by another driver and their insurance will cover you.

    And that wont come up or have the situation manipulated against you? you'd have more than the book thrown at you, thats assuming the other person doesnt try turn the blame on the uninsured person!

    Sure they only check 1 in every 5 or so, cant see how they could rely on getting through multiple checkpoints all the time,
    If thats the first question, then the first answer might be, "well we were dealing with other motorists and can only check so many and have to wave the rest through or cause a hazard/large delays"

    The threat of checkpoints does more to make people conform than the actual checkpoints catch or could deal with.
    I havent seen one in a while but at times I see plenty together. Probably see some tomorrow now, I think the start of the month is usual.

    OP does she have some rack? and have it out or something? not talking rack and pinion now.

    Its regardless about the tax, unless she has SORD the car already as she will be due to pay the amount owed (unless she sells it).
    Whatever of skipping a month or so of tax, no NCT has a steep points penalty now Id thought? No insurance is criminal and exceptionally stupid.

    I still wouldnt think much invalidates an insurance or the insurers liability to pay out to a third party, if the insurer hasn't followed up on getting the correct documents/licence and hasnt already cancelled the insurance.

    You can actually loose your licence for no insurance!
    I don't think she would get away with saying she was waiting for insurance in the post because op said she hasn't been insured since last year! Doesn't take that long like!
    Also I wouldn't like to be paying her tax when she eventually does pay it.... She will have to back tax it!!! If it has been out since '13 it would get taken of here then and there. I got stopped once and it was only out about 4 days (was waiting for it in lost actually!!!) and guard said he would post out a summons to me for no tax! Never heard anything in end, assume he checked it up!

    So stupid driving with no insurance what ever about the rest! Tell her all the things that have been said on this thread, give her until end week and do something then. At least you won't feel bad because you have her a chance!!

    I think it's the opposite way round. As far as I'm aware their argument is that acts of parliament/statutes are based in marine law and don't apply to them. Only the 'common law' is what they recognise. But I digress, long story short, I doubt they pay motor tax either.

    I actually don't believe the story is true. I am worried if it is.
