yea i know what you mean but alot of people have 3rd party extension so it meant you could have a car that you didnt drive often, but as long as its motd and taxd and not in your name, you could drive it using the cover from your own policy so you didnt pay for 2 policies. Was getting abused alot though, young people driving evo's m3's type r's etc...
Theres ways round it mate, i taxed my type r civic 3 times with no insurance, post office ones arent the smartest people on the plannet lol. But to be honest its good now like this because before i was never covered least if my car ever got stole itll be covered now as im going to pay for my mum to get insured on the car.

I hope to God you weren't actually driving that car on the road when you had no insurance.
I had a third party extension and was well within my rights to use it, in the event of an accident i was insured perfectly etc. its just a loophole that they have now closed. I got the car lifted a few months back by a police man that didn't exactly understand the law, had to pay 150 to get my car back, needless to say i got a cheque threw the post last week and i have in a claim for a new front bumper
So to answer your question, i was fully insured.

Thats good to hear lad, glad your not one of those that think its ok to drive around without insurance. I have seen lads down here do stupid things with insurance discs just so they wouldn't get caught by the Gardai but they weren't actually insured and they'd be driving around happy out thinking they got one over on them

as far as im aware you are correct there!
no your not right mate, my car got lifted as the cop had the same view as you, quinn direct allows you to drive any car as long as its motd and taxed

did you try flux direct? friend of mine is on an ep3 at 22 insurance group 17 and his is only £1200 which i thought was excellent. greenlight also very good if your over 25.
try gettin it at 21 though
i know a few 17 year olds that got it under parents policies, have 3 or 4 friends with it all under 25 and i have it 2 years, i was 25 when i got it though
