Actually it's breach of contract, not illegal. Caselaw says third party insurance is third party insurance and cannot be cancelled retrospectively.

Motorbike is the key, you go fast, skip traffic, park anywhere
As I said, it’s a well kept secret, but the money is very good, but you have to work evenings |
If you're ITK then fair enough, I was looking at this guy's article on doing it (on scooter) and what his approximate earning projections are:
https://ugoscootersblog.com/2021/02/08/deliveroo-how-much-can-you-earn-and-how-to-get-started/
Using the bands and hours he quotes, you can extrapolate that out:

Seems the sweet spot is only doing it as a part-time gig and fly below the radar on income.
Also, I know the min hourly rate and max hourly rate don't work out to be lower - higher in two of the cases, this is because of the banding the article used (min. weekly salary quoted divided by min. weekly hours quoted, etc).

Hey, do you know other companies or jobs where you can earn money using a bike? I used to work at delivering company but in another country, so I have experience in this field. Also, I had many accidents, this is why, I pay attention to the bike insurance as I had many cases when they told me that will cover everything but they did not cover anything. Now, I have insurance from https://simplebikeinsurance.com/ and it is I think the most reliable company. It is a pleasure to work with them as they are always there to help no matter what happened. In such a way, you feel much safer.

You don't see wearing one of these as a giveaway then?

I checked about signing on as a Deliveroo driver/rider, it does not get you any extended insurance as part of the job:
https://riders.deliveroo.co.uk/en/support/insurance/what-insurance-do-i-need
Throwing some random data into an incognito browser shows that the price of Hire and Reward insurance for pretty much any bike, any licence is going to be well north of a bag per year. I wonder how many of these perpetual CBT/L-plate guys have stumped up for H&R?
