I don't know if anyone else here has had hassle on this issue.
I got stopped by the police in my GTS last night -for not having Insurance.
I explained that the car was insured however that on Saturday the DVLA sent me a new log book with a new registration plate for the car that I purchased recently. The DVLA stated with the log book that the new numberplate should be put on the car as soon as possible.
Because it was bank holiday I could not inform my Insurance company regarding the change of number plate until today.
I was asked to show my Insurance documents to the local police station within 7 days.
This morning I went to my local Insurance office and they printed out all the paperwork showing the original Insurance policy taken out last month and clearly stated the car had always been insured but amended the change of numberplate on the same policy.
I then went straight into the police station thinking it would be a 2 minute job to show the documents however I could have never foreseen I would be dealing with a police woman with no common sense and who evidently failed most (if not all) of her school exams. She constantly just said 'you've amended this policy' as if I was insuring the bloody numberplate and not the car. She said that I should not have changed the numberplate- despite the fact as I pointed out-that according to the DVLA the old number was no longer registered to me or the car.
Eventually I left the station because I'd wasted 30 mins of my life talking to a brick wall.
The police woman then phoned me up later today and said ' I've spoken to several people about your case and some think you are correct whilst some think I am correct- we are therefore both right....so I've sent your paperwork to the officer who stopped you and asked him to look into it'
Jesus Christ !!
How the hell can anyone have confidence in the police to tackle serious crime when the donuts can't even look at a sheet of A4 paper from an Insurance company and determine that a car is insured.....despite the fact it states clearly the previous number,the new number,and when the car was originally insured.
