It IS sufficient that they have a policy that allows them to drive any car.
It's about compensating people for crashes caused by uninsured MOTORISTS, as stated on their website. What do you think its for?
What about it? Care to explain what the outcome was, rather than just mentioning there was once a court case about something vaugely similar to what we're discussing?
Sure. Just find an insurer that will sell you one. Or start your own insurance company, and offer them to people. There's certainly no law preventing it.
Yes.
No. The DRIVER must be insured for that car. Which is not "in it's own right".
The car didn't get there itself.
Oh, well that's helpful.
I don't know. What is it about?
Erm? You're buying VED for the car in its own right. You're not buying insurance for the car in its own right.
Nope, no one disagreed with that at all.
No. There is no difference between the law as applies to me, and as applies to traders. There is no exemption.
Why do you believe this? In what way can a trader get VED that I can't? snip
In the same way as a trader.
Your above question was "how can they tax their car" not "how can they tax their car online". I suppose its a legal requirement to have had a computerised MOT to get VED, since you can't get it online otherwise.
The RTA applies equally to traders and private motorists. You agree traders do not legally require insurance policies explicitly mentioning the car -- so neither do I. snip
But is entirely relevant to the LEGAL REQUIREMENTS applying to private motorists. You're claiming because the majority of private motorists get a policy explicitly mentioning the car, they're all legally required to -- they aren't.
The implementation of an online tax system does not define the law.
