NTA make it very dificult to downgrade insurance

[Shallowhal]

I suspended my licence for the month of April. Will extend that in due course. I haven't been in the car to take the stickers off yet, one of those things that's likely to keep slipping my mind I think.

Did you ring or use the email link provided in their Friday mail.....when i click on their link the Subject box has VL+number+-+suspension,do we just replace that with Txxxxx-SUSPENSION and ask for the length of time we want to suspend in the comment box?

The lads in the suitability center use a blade to remove the daisies.I'm not a fukking tradesman.Could lose a thumb or some fingertips..

Rat that is the number I rang, and like everyone else I was told they would ring me back. Yet on Thursday, your man told me he had started the process of refund and it would be in my account within 6 working days, having waited the previous 14 days for no good reason. Now this morning I'm given a completely different story. I would suggest look else where for insurance if they don't stop acting the bollox and trying to stall

I rang and then emailed a different address that I ws given at the time. Then a man rang me back and sorted it. Nice bloke, he ws working from home and doing a bit of DIY too... I don't think he said anything about sending discs back though and I rarely read email, particularly when I'm on holiday.

Dont dance that dance yet Dollyer .There could be a big steaming Pooh waiting to be served up to insurers .Taxi policies are Commercial policies .If we bought Continuance of Business policies ie you can hire a car if your off the road or have coin instead .The insurers might be liable to drop lots of Gelt on us and other business policy holders .So continue doing nothing until your sure you should do something that wont cost you in the end .

[Shallowhal]

Well Paggo did say that with less cars on the road claims should be less and the insured classes should be reimbursed.

[Rat Catcher]

He was wrong (so far anyway)... according to the wireless there have been more claims this April than last, to date.

The nta/insurance scum are making it as hard as possible for law obeying physical distancing taximen to save a few euros by reducing cover to social
domestic and pleasure. they dont give a feck about us, i hate them. same thing here, axa said they will ring back ffs.

[Rat Catcher]

To be fair, they were nice to me... dunno why I'm not suspending the policy entirely though. I haven't driven the car in ages, Mrs. C. is doing the shopping now that she has fuck all else to do.

Im a cynical cunt so answer me this .Why did the taxithingey want us to send back discs  and delist from the app and not remove door decals or upgrade to civilian road tax ?If we do this are WE removing ourselves from the road voluntarily .As I said our policies are commercial we can claim if we are off the road due to an accident income continuance does the policy specify ACCIDENT or just off the road .There are moves in Europe to force Insurers to pony us to trade disruption policy holders .I wouldnt decouple .When I did my SPSV test I was never asked if I was computer literate and as Merc says the lad in the SGS has special tools and training to remove discs .Wait a while and then wait a small bit more before you do anything rash .

NTA is only concerned with the PSV aspect. Any private use you make of a car that is not licensed as a PSV is not within it's remit. If you fail to inform the authority that you have lapsed your PSV insurance you are in breach of the T&Cs under which you are licensed and your licence is invalid. Breach of licensing T&Cs could lead to permanent revocation of your SPSV. Under contract law ignorance is not a viable defence. To be fair to NTA, it has put structures in place which allow us downgrade or suspend insurance without completely surrendering our plates i.e. it is facilitating licence suspensions.
