Is this right?

[Shaane]

just looking for some opinions really. I know my mate is a complete twat and i know you will all say that but i was just wondering if this was right for the police to do. Ok well here is what happand.

My 1 friends moped broke down about 300 meters from his house so my other friend gave him a lift down to the house to get his dad out. Well anyway about 100 meters down this road the police turn up and stop my mates. Ask him if he has insurance and tax etc. But he didn't have his tax displayed. So the police starts saying how my mate will have his moped seized etc. They carried on talking and the policeman then said that my mate will be done for no tax no insurance and he didn't have his l plates displayed. He has been section 59'ed and the police man said that the moped will also have a section 59 on it or something.

Is all that right or?

Thanks.

Well if it was only 300m why didn't he just walk. Not insured for pillions, no lisence. Deserves his bike taken away IMO.
But L plates 3 points and 60 quid fine, each. Tax, could probably do him for failure to display. Insurance void because of pillion I think.

Cheers for the reply mate. Have spoke to him and his Mum has took his keys off him and locked the bike away herself until everything has been dealt with. She also said if the Police want it they can have it.

The Police Officers were bored and didn't like the look of your mate.

Yes they can pretty much destroy him.

Does he actually have tax and insurance?

If so, it may well be not too bad.

Did he, judging by the reactions of some people, run over a herd of kittens in front of the policeman? If so, expect a harsher penalty.

[Shaane]

He has insurance and tax but tax was not displayed. The policeman said not having it displayed makes the insurance void or something.

Unlike this thread's general topic G's attempt at humour is rare.

I fhe was carrying a pillion then he can be done for riding without being in accordance with his licence. Which would void his insurance normally.

He might need to get a letter from his insurer stating that if he'd had an accident then the third party damages would still be covered (there's a technical name for the letter but I can't remember at the moment)

How can they do him with having no insurance if he is insured? Fair enough, he didn't have his tax displayed, had no L plates and was carrying a pillion illegally. He was right to be stopped and it's fair that he gets punished. However, I wouldn't have thought they could do him for no insurance if he's insured...

They are possibly arguing that the insurance is invalid because it wasn't being ridden in accordance with his licence

although to be honest I'd expect them to do him for riding not i accordance with his licence and unlawful pillion at three points a pop.

Have a look over the endorsements page - if they wanted to screw him they could push for enough points to put him completely off of the road - just for the one incident.
