Drivers telling passengers to use the emergency buttons...
"Roland Perry" wrote in message ... In message , at 21:46:26 on Mon, 26 Nov 2012, Graeme Wall remarked: As I'm only stopping to let someone out, by the time I've seen the bus coming I'll have dumped the passenger off and be beating a retreat. mode="stirring it" If you let a passenger out where you shouldn't be stopped, would you be insured? /mode I would be, because there's no actual prohibition on me stopping. There would be if the bus stop was in a bus lane, a situation I see practically every day. But I wouldn't be stopped there, because that's prohibited (rather than advised against). And in any case, we don't see normal car drivers having insurance claims turned down for minor infringements (eg getting scraped while parked part on the pavement or too close to a junction) so I don't think the insurance companies worry about that kind of thing. We won't worry about that. YOU might, in the event of a claim, when the other party proves an accident occurs because you disoveyed the HC. For a start: the other party will successfully reclaim Uninsured Losses from your ins co. YOU can say Goodbye to your NCB (or one "life" on it if you have protected NCB). Also increase in premium next time round. |

But if that happened with any regularity it would be a "well known fact" that if your car was (eg) bumped when parked on the pavement you would not be able to claim on the insurance (without the drawbacks you list). And that isn't the case. -- Roland Perry |
