Marx Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I hadn't intended to spend the best part of half an hour in the back of a police car tonight but it would have been much worse if the car had been impounded. The police officer really wasn't having my version of events but I cast enough doubt in her mind to get to keep the car. It was just like an episode of that police programme where they ask loads of questions trying to catch-out the perpetrator and then say, "Now tell me the truth". So I got home, went online to check my documents and found out that the "U" in the registration is showing as a "V". From now on I will keep documents in the car.

ECCOnoob Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Good to see the police are doing what they are supposed to. Good to see that they are being at least fair in some points. Lesson learnt for you I guess. Always check any insurance documentations thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Don't know why U is still in the reg plate mix when this mixup is a clear possibility tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone at Aviva has entered the wrong letter and I never noticed, nor did my wife's employer, RMBC when she took all her documents to be checked as an essential car user.

Checking my documents right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is serious, serious bad luck. I had similar issues with dodgy data entry at a company and it dogged me for a couple of years. Bad experience but don't dwell on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marx Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Turns out the wrong reg was also for the same make of car just to confuse things. The police had contacted the insurance company overnight and the policy had been amended when I looked online this morning. I thought I was seeing things as everything checked out.

It would be very difficult to prove who was at fault for the error; you are lucky to get it changed, without any penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Police have enough on without trying to prosecute innocent motorists ......... don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a judgment call, by the police and the insurance company. They can be quite fickle at times; had it been a claim that would cost the insurance company thousands of ££££, you were not insured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
