INSURANCE

[Belker]

Ross is asked ..Later, the Transport Minister was asked by the 'Financial Times' whether a motorist travelling from Co Donegal to Co Derry would continue to be insured once they crossed into the North.

"Can I come back to you on that?" Mr Ross responded, before whispering to Mr Coveney "the answer to that is 'yes', isn't it?"

 WTF If the fucking Minister dosent know the answer at this stage in the game .Seems like nobody in the Irish Government has a fucking clue .

What actually is the correct answer John M ?
And fer Taxi drivers are we still insured to drive North over the border ?

[dalymount]

But I already had the experience of breaking down,and before I rang for assistance I,was assured by them iwas covered.the truck duly arrived about I hour later,and sorted it out.it was a battery issue also my son ( who is no a taxi driver)-recently neededt to be towed to a garage ( he is with first Ireland )- and again there was no charge,or no impact on his policy.he asked the question before he sought their assistance

Of course we will be covered maybee .The problem might be if you are insured in the EU and have a knock in the UK which juristriction British Law or European Law settles your claim .Expect an extra charge to cover travel in the UK on your premium.

It dosen't really apply to me anyway, I did a run to Laois last summer and that is about as far as I'm willing to go from Cork.
I might do Dooblin if it was early in my shift and 'On the meter' which is about a Monkee, but the idiots down here will do it fer a Trummer, Bollocks on that !

I know you broke down, you explained that already and I know there was no charge because you had 'Break-down assist' from AXA on your policy, what I asked earlier and repeated below is how much AXA charged you on your original policy fer Break-down assist.
Please read the entire question below before answering.

Have a read off your policy DM, it won't be on page 1 as nothing is ever on page 1, but prob on page 2 or maybe 3, there should be a break down of what you are paying fer, in the break down it will tell you exactly what you are paying fer, as in fer Break-down assist, windscreen cover, meter cover, NCB protection, Etc. And will look similar to mine;

Read your one first and then come back to me ?

I'd question fully comp on an 11 year old taxi, Ken. The value @ €8,000 is way too high... they'll only pay open market value regardless of the figure you give.

Got another letter from Liberty today, this time with an Express Post label attached... another renewal quote updated for my shitebox nua/fully comp, dated 14 Jan... still no sign of the cert/disc allegedly sent on the 10th, not that it matters at this stage.

Up in my old gaff the postman was seen fukking the mail in the green bin on someones CCTV.After further investigations on a Facebook group other residents were getting each others post regularly.One year I found the log book from my Motorbike out on the footpath in the snow.Useless bastards.No wonder they like driving taxis.

[Rat Catcher]

Funny enough, I got two letters addressed to a neighbour with yesterday's post. We have a newish postman, an Irish bloke... before that we had an English lad, pleasant bloke but extremely pedantic... probably not a bad thing in his job. Anywaysanall, there's no NCD cert with any of the sets of renewal documents I've received from Liberty to date. I did get it by email but I thought they're obliged to post it with the renewal quotes?

[mercenary for hire]

They're probably just cutting corners.I think I had to request my NCB when I left First Ireland a couple of years ago.

Motorists may soon be obliged to carry 'proof of insurance' Green Cards for travel in the UK and Northern Ireland in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
The Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland has advised that insurers and insurance brokers will provide 'Green Cards' to motor insurance policyholders who travel to the UK, including to Northern Ireland.
Green Cards will demonstrate to Northern Ireland and British authorities the vehicle has valid motor insurance cover if there is a no-deal Brexit.
There will be no requirement for Green Cards if an agreement is reached between the UK and the EU on Brexit, or if a transitional arrangement is implemented.
A Green Card is an internationally recognised insurance document that provides proof of the minimum compulsory motor insurance cover required by the country visited.
Green Cards provide a guarantee of insurance for a minimum of 15 days and can remain valid until the expiry date of the motor insurance policy, providing cover for multiple trips.
In line with the current expected Brexit date of 29 March 2019, insurers and insurance brokers will begin issuing Green Cards to policyholders from March.
This is on the basis that no agreement has been reached between the UK and the EU on Brexit or that the process has not been further delayed.
At that point anyone who plans on driving their Irish-registered vehicle in Northern Ireland or the rest of the UK should contact their insurer or insurance broker one month in advance of their expected travel date.
This is to ensure they receive their Green Card in sufficient time.

Ken months ago I posted that we might not be covered and I was told I hadnt a clue what I was talking about .There is a bigger issue than Green Cards .At the moment all claims in the EU are settled under ECJ rules the UK are leaving the ECJ and they will settle claims under Common Law .So there will be two different legal systems .Two different compensation systems most crash  injuries in Britain are settled out of court .You can be sure there are more hidden landmines for us .Here is another one .Ireland Imports about 20% of its electricity from the UK through an underwater inter connector After Brexit will there be import duty on electricity ?I hear Stuttery Paggo waffeling on about new data centers .The new extension to Intel will use more electricity than Galway city the new Data Center in Mayo will also use more Electricity than Galway City .The problem is and the government dont publicise this .They have Guarenteed these centers a supply of electricity at an agreed price for ever .In other words the Irish taxpayer will be subsidising these plants and if there is an import duty on electricity you and me will pick up the tab .

Why would ya expect your insurance to carry over into another country lads?Get the bus or train or move up there if ya love the stonethrowers so much.

[Belker]

Would ye get many fares in the Pale going North over the border ?
As in like how many a year ?

[mercenary for hire]

I certainly don't.Got a job to Balbriggan last year from the Airport that's it..Nothing on the way back in..loada bollix.Most Dubs dont leave the city unless we're on a plane.I'll admit I've seen very little on this island.Still better value to holiday abroad.
