That's not ignorance, that's stupidity. I don't even cross the channel without letting my insurer know I'm going and to confirm I'm covered for both accidents and breakdown in whatever country.

Not true. You can insure a vehicle on a UK provisional licence. I'm assuming your mate hasn't even passed his test in his home country, in which case he has also been driving illegally in the rest of Europe too. It's just unfortunate that he wasn't stopped earlier.

Again, not true. Contact Neil/Kentfallen for confirmation of this as he's an ex-bike cop.

Are you sure this is the British Police and not the Stasi or Gestapo we're talking about here?
So to sum up, we've got a uninsured, unlicenced driver who thinks it's everyone's fault except his own that his trip has been ruined and his car was seized and will probably be crushed. Is that about right or have I missed something here?
