Check your insurance

[KTM Gordo]

If you want to check that your 'bike is listed on the insurance database (the one used by the Police) have a look here:

www.askmid.com

Put in your registration and it'll tell you if you are listed.

This is quite worrying. I insured my new bike before I picked it up yesterday and according to the database I am not insured. I have just checked my bank and the deposit hasnt been taken either . They told me I am fully insured and the papers have been sent through so I presumed I was.

The database is not definitive, but if you're not in it it's worth checking with your insurer / broker.

If you're not in the database and get pulled over then you'll need to produce your insurance certificate as evidence.

errrrr...... Either something is very wrong or I'm onto a winner. I tried five of my bikes on there and they all came up as on the database.

Two of those bikes haven't been insured for over a year and one hasn't been insured for 2 years. I wonder if its just saying that at some point the registration as been added to the database and not that the insurance is valid?

One of them will be back on the road in a few weeks, it'll be interesting to see if I can tax it before its insured since its in the database.

[carvell]

The insurance ran out on my car in July this year, and that comes up as uninsured.

Looks like you might be on to a winner!

The insurance on my bike ran out last night and it's come up as uninsured, so it either wasn't on there to begin with or it's quite up to date.

[Blau Zedong]

Seems to work OK....also found out my gixxer 400SP is still alive

This is getting weird.
I tried my boys scooter. He's not 16 until next year but I brought it earlier this year from a guy at work. I stuck it on my insurance and rode it home. That policy ran out July and I changed insurers. It still comes up as on the database. Coincidently, all the bikes that are uninsured were insured by Ebike at some point. You've got to wonder what's going on?

I shall email them see what they say.

[Louise]

[J.K.R]

I'm using Ebike (wont be after the policy's up though, Found them crap when it comes to claims) and sometimes i switch between one of my bikes and the other.

The one i'm supposed to be insured on isnt coming up but the other one is

I've got the certificate anyways...

Seems a lucky dip as to if your details show up correct or not. Tried all the vehicles in our family that are ALL insured and have been for months and it got less than 2 out of 6 correct. If the Police use it to see if your insured you could probably get away with no insurance.

Your insurance company has 14 days to amend the records when you change / incept / cancel a policy.

Due to some system errors, backlogs etc etc you may find the MID is not fully up to date.

I'm not entirely sure if this is an up-to-date complete representation of the MID as it's normally quite costly for the police and insurance companies to have access to this information so i'm suprised that it has been opened up to the general public.

Thanks though, should make for an interest conversation at work
