Travel Insurance policy includes 3rd party liability
Dear world weary overlanders of HUBB
I am a big fan of the website and the friendly informative members who maintain and continue to boost the sites greatness.
I have a travel insurance policy which covers me in the event of a 3rd party claim against myself for damage I may have caused to a person or property. I understand that 3rd party insurance is compulsary for vehicles driven in Europe. I am looking to purchase a DRZ400 in Southern Cyprus and ride to the North, Turkey, Bulgaria and onwards to the UK.
I have just landed in Europe after 12 months of riding bikes around Vietnam, Laos and India. The presence of law and enforcement is alot more present here than in Asia, I have only harmless and honest intentions with my travels and do not want to enrage johnny law.
My question is, can a person who is fully licenced and insured against 3rd party claims legally ride a uninsured vehicle that is registered in the sole riders name? Although the vehicle is uninsured the rider is completely insured for 3rd party damage/injury and is fully licenced.
N.B. No insurer in Southern Cyprus will insure a tourist without insurance history in the country.
