Eeyore Brimstone Eeyore Adrian happily, sounding much like they were saying : Use is defined as more than driving the vehicle. See see Wilkinson's 21st edition 1.205 I don't have one nor should I need one. f***ing clown. If you want to find out what the law is, you refer to books containing information about it. Actually I use the internet. All UK Law can be found there afaik. Nope. Recent statutes can be, but not older ones. Case law may be online, but if it is, then it'll be subscription services. I've found the online stuff adequate for my needs so far. Obviously not. You don't understand the meaning of the words used. I understand perfectly. The law seems to infer a different meaning for reasons that simply make no sense since it would be trivially simple to use another word to make the apparently intended meaning clear.
Well go on then, I've brought it down for you. Remove the word 'use' and re-write it to cover all situations. It should be a doddle to someone with your academic qualifications.
(a) a person must not use a motor vehicle on a road unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that person such a policy of insurance or such a security in respect of third party risks as complies with the requirements of this Part of this Act, and
(b) a person must not cause or permit any other person to use a motor vehicle on a road unless there is in force in relation to the use of the vehicle by that other person such a policy of insurance or such a security in respect of third party risks as complies with the requirements of this Part of this Act.
