Livid with Frank Pickles
When i bought the dutton, i got insured with Frank Pickles. Great service, really efficient.
When i bought the latest car, i told them im selling the dutton, but there is an overlap. "No problem" they said, we can insure both for a
month.
Anyway, the new documents came, the dutton went, and the new car arrived. Thinking nothing of it, i just thought that i had now transferred my
insurance to the new car..... until it passes the MOT and i try and tax the car online.
Insurance was only for a month on BOTH cars.... 
So ive not got the MOT, but i cant get tax because the insurance hasnt updated online yet, and i have no cover note.
I call Adrian Flux, and get the car insured again, and am still waiting for the covernote to be emailed over.
A Great day, getting the car MOT'd, but let down (as usual) by the insurance companies.
Do i;
Drive the car and sort the tax out on Monday?
Im more than happy to pay the road tax, but cant because the system wont let me yet.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

don't drive it. if you're caught (which you will be on ANPR as soon as you pass a rozzer) they'll want to seize the car and crush
it, i think, from watching traffic cops, road wars etc

I feel for you. It's one thing to be off the road because something is broken, but it hurts more if it is someone elses incompetence.

Have you lost part of you payment? How many months were you insured for? 10 months then 2 vehicles for a further month equalling 12 months? I'd
check that otherwise they've probably screwed you...

They have screwed me!
I paid an additional £60 odd, when i changed the insurance over, and to cover the dutton as well for a limited time until transported.
I bought some additional insurance today, and it cost me £160. On the plus side, ive got breakdown cover as well, but after the MOT, Holiday and a
heavy month its what i could really do without.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

you are unlikely to get ANPR'd, but whether you drive it depends on your relationship with risk!
