The excuses never get old though

The ones who 'think' that because they have 'can drive any other car' on their policy really make me laugh. They should read the small print which clearly states -

1. The car must not belong to themselves
2. Is not hired
3. Has its OWN insurance policy in place
4. has the permission of the car owner

This is the bit that people seem to conveniently miss out 

And is the bit that was pointed out by the Boyz in Blue to my 'sister-in-law' when she'd been stopped for no insurance & her car was impounded.

Exactly...........

all just to make money.
why not just insure a car and it is insured.
other countrys doing it why is it so hard for the uk?

[TheBoy]

yeah. spend you're money to the goverment and they give it away to the lazy here in the UK.

Fixed.

Because, due to having too many retarded, stupid, self-centred do-gooders, we're too tied up trying to legislate around stupidity, rather than shooting those dragging society down.

We've traditionally had, for years, a problem with untaxed, unmot'd and uninsured vehicles. So I applaud the attempts to clean it up, even if it may be slightly misguided. In reality, it affects such a small number of people, and genuine traders will have the resources to get vehicles moved.

Who says he can't tow it? I can't remember the exact figures but the weight plate on mine states gross train weight of 3.7tonne ish. That gives you a towing weight over 2 tonne. 1.7t for the car, 300kg trailer, you're in business. Shouldn't struggle, I tow a 1500kg caravan with my dizzle and not a problem. Best tow car I've had

[aaronjb]

Except most car trailers are more like 5-700Kg plated weight (those big enough to stick an Omega on, anyway)..

yeah. spend you're money to the goverment and they give it away to other counhtry's.
in one day insurance and short tax to get it home. all this vat they earn.
other option just by a new earth saving car.
govt sucks.
all the regulations are just good for them.

buying a used car is made nearly impossible by our govt so nobody makes money on selling a car anymore,
because you dont give them taxes when selling you're car.

buy a new one instead and spend your money in some small pisspot car with no space and style and support the manufacterer.
that's all about.

every govt around the uk try to get cars of the road but not rid of the support to other poor country's.

time the give the money we spend back to us instead forcing us to help others.

Standard non informed response.

Govt spend as a pie chart 2009 - 2010:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/65/UKExpenditure.svg/2000px-UKExpenditure.svg.png

So largest portion goes on social care, health, education and then defence. The overseas spend is a tiny part of the 11% other spend. In fact, 0.7% of gross national income if I remember correctly.

Get your facts right before taking a daily fail approach to blaming overseas aid for all our problems.

[terry paget]

Thank you gentlemen. That clears that up. So what I need to do is hire a recovery vehicle and collect the car, unless it has MOT, when I can arrange insurance and tax when I buy.

Kerb weight of a 2.2 auto Sport saloon is 1585ish kgs, lightest twin axle car trailer with an 1800 kg payload is 500kgs, which gives a trailer weight of just under 2100kgs...

My Merc was rated to 2100kgs, but the 3.2 Estate wouldn't come close... certainly far enough over to be shot at the roadside
