New2City Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Your insurance rules are fascinating... I'm in the US, and worked for an insurance agent for quite a few years. For us, insurance follows the vehicle. So if Tammy were over here, and borrowed my vehicle (that is, I give permission for him to drive it), my insurance would be primary coverage in the event of an accident.

The mere fact that he allegedly has no licence and may even be banned, immediately nullifies any insurance whatsoever, whether his own or as a named driver or on an any driver policy, because you cannot legally car insurance unless you have a valid licence or are not banned.

Not here; which is why the difference is so interesting. The damage to the vehicle would be covered under the owner's collision coverage, any damage done to another vehicle or person would be covered under the owner's liability coverage. The driver, would be given any applicable ticket (i.e. driving without a license) and punished accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumRed Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well this season seems to be going well. It's been like my 40th birthday party, a lot of work colleagues snogged the wrong people (all in their forties), I got accused of having fun in the toilets with two women and a man by my girlfriend at the time (who was a bit mad), someone in their 60's passed out and knocked themselves out on the bar. All of this by 21.30, can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Constant Rabbit Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 @TETBURY MASSIVE or @Charliesboots So, if I have got this right, roughly 3 weeks ago now, TA needed to go somewhere which was football related. LJ, knowing full well that TA had previously lost his licence for driving offences, and was now NOT in possession of a full or provisional licence, directly told AM to let TA take his car and drive it to his work related destination. AM was under the direct instructions of his 'boss' and therefore his employer, and so gave TA the keys. TA then crashed the car into another vehicle. Nobody was injured. Chelsea were furious, and despite BS best efforts, this has finally got out and is rapidly spreading throughout the British Media. TA has been arrested. LJ has been suspended. AM is waiting to see what will happen to him. If all this is correct, there are rumours flying around that TA will be recalled back to Chelsea as BCFC have been seen to be breaching a 'duty of care' by abetting the situation - LJ ordering AM to surrender his car to a known disqualified driver. TA will also be facing a potential prison sentence. LJ is awaiting the decision on his future and potential action from the Police AM - I assume is awaiting a Police decision. Is this about right? A or will suffice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 A few eeeks ago I wrote there was something decidedly wrong at City.
