Vehicle Road Tax......discuss.

I would advise strongly against this. The owner is completely liable regardless of who is riding it. There was a case in arbroath recently where a chap sold his bike but didn't cancel the policy covering it immediately. New owner crashed on way home and the sellers policy was forced to pay out 40k.

 

 

I'm not sure if this is always the case. I recently added a bike to my policy but it was stressed that the policy is not for the bikes (being ridden) but is only valid with me as the rider, or any other named rider. (Bennetts).  Perhaps they have already written small print to avoid the Arbroath incident
