Uninsured bike seized

[hondakawasaki]

Hi all, so stupidly rode my bike round the back to be cleaned only to find a cop behind me when i pulled up my insurance ran out a few days ago they took my bike

Is it as simple as insure my bike online pay the impound fee and ride my bike home do i need insurance documents to get the bike back?

Thanks for the help

IF thats all they have done and going to do.. then yes

do you know if they are going to charge you? to seize the bike i would have guessed they are

You'll need to prove you're fully legal to ride the bike home.

Yes you will need the policy docs. If your insurers has a local branch I believe you can get them to fax it through, the last thing you want is storage charges building up while you wait for the docs in the post.

Hello all, so the impound still has my bike

I insured my bike but didn't get the policy documents untill after 5 so the impound was closed

Upon reading the certificate of insurance it says it does not cover me to release impounded vehicles

Will i still be able to get my bike?

I have another piece of paper that i printed off with the insurance certificate it says im insured but it doesn't say im not allowed to release impounded vehicles

Will i be able to show them this print out instead of the insurance certificate it still has all my details on

Will this be ok to show at the police station

Thanks for the help

Of course you can get your bike back.

I think what it actually says on your insurance certificate is that if your bike is impounded for any reason, the insurance company won't pay for it to be released etc.

[hondakawasaki]

ok heres exactly what it says on the insurance certificate

where the driving other vehicles extension is shown under section 5 of this certificate of insurance this policy does not cover use to secure the release of a motor vehicle,not otherwise specifically the subject of insurance by this policy,which has been seized by,or on behalf of any government or public authority

maybe i read it wrong i think it means i can not recover any other vehicle apart from the one on the certificate

im starting to worry i dont want to lose my bike it has a lot of sentimental value to me

thanks for the help

Bit of a bastard thing to be caught for, there should be a common sense element to this kind of thing if it is genuinely less than a mile or whatever. No harm done and all that jazz.

Anyway by the wording of it you should be fine to go get it on that policy

ok thanks guys will let you know how it goes tomorrow

[Rogerborg]

You should be fine, don't be fobbed off by a copper or pound hound who just skims the cert.

Oh, you told your new insurer about your pending conviction for driving without insurance, right?

A guy I worked with got collared for reversing his uninsured car out of a garage so he could get at something in the garage. I guess you and he share the same luck.

Hurr seriously? How long were you on the bike?

I've took a few uninsured bikes round the corner to the little industrial area to test them, rarely anyone around, last time there was someone teaching someone to drive

Might not be doing that one again D:

How do they know you are uninsured without using a cam thing or running your plates?

Did they just ask?
Producer or gtfo right?

Wait so the cop just randomly asekd him for a producer without reasonable cause or suspect?
Seems like a dick move, surely he could walk up a road and demand everyone pulling out their drives to give producers for no reason?

Could he not have insured the car retrospectively and edited the policy documents to remove the date I know you're then stepping into fraud, but if you just remove the date and don't change it to something else you can just say it wasn't on there or it was a printing error or some shit

Aaand if given a producer...why did they seize OPs bike? Couldn't he have deferred it?
