Those of you who have attended meetings in Devon recently will know that I have been looking forward to visiting the Police Station with John on my recent visit to Cornwall and I was not disappointed. –Emma Albion
‘We couldn’t make an appointment so, duly suited and booted, we arrived on spec at the St Austell station to be greeted by a very adept and helpful Police Staff who listened to our request to share information about our car insurance bond and Trust. She raised no objections and made suggestions which were very helpful. It was a highly uplifting experience which bodes well for future communications. We can now confirm the following:
‘The police are not interested in a name being attached to a car as long as it is registered with DVLA Swansea as a Trust or organisation.
They may still pull you over but as long as you have your Insurance Certificate and card in the car, everything will be fine.
They have no problem with the insurance being a bond as our bond is a physical bank account with Member’s money in the account.
‘It is best to contact the main constabulary (in our case, the Devon and Cornwall Police HQ) to let them know the details we want to be passed down to all the local stations. This can be done by sending an email from the main constabulary’s website (rather than sitting in a drawer and forgotten at your local Police Station).
‘They understand the Trust and that cars can be shared, although this means they have difficulty working out who is using a vehicle at any given time.
We stated that, as Members of the Community Assembly of the British Isles, we are a spiritual community and only abide by law, we do not accept legislation unless by individual consent.’
If this approach works successfully across all the policed areas of England it will resolve a problem which has persisted since the Road Traffic Act 1972 was replaced. Under Sec 143 in that Act, the alternative to buying vehicle insurance was available by depositing £15,000 with the Attorney General’s office.
This was quietly removed from later updates of the RTA, although it has always been available to the ‘elite’ gentry. Clearly the proletariat were to be kept in the dark about that, so, this may just be a significant change.
