Are drunk insurance policies valid when the driver is drunk?

They will indemnify the driver against third party claims but strictly speaking the insurers could then endeavour to recover from the drunk driver.

Lock and load, get the police, you have witnesses, dangerous driving (could have been someone with a pram and baby walking past at the time).

I have been waiting for this all week....

Someone in my office lives near you mate...the story I heard is that the car was stolen and the bloke driving it was a tagged criminal let out on bail.....

He was arrested. I don't know any more info than that, but the cars you describe are the ones mentioned by my colleague....

They should hang the b*stard.

Drawing and quartering prior to hanging is a much more satisfying spectator event

Hung, drawn & quartered always seemed wrong to me too.

Surely it should be quatered, drawn & hung.

Definately the best thing for this toerag.

When they used to hang them, AFAIK they didn't hang them till they died, just enough to cause a hell of a lot of pain. They then cut them down and started with the other stuff.

Nope you are right Mrs. Fish.

Another favourite was to hang them in their own house and then pull their guts out of their mouth using a long hook - all while still alive.

Mmmmmmm....lunch.

Why do the law waste valuable time and money tagging these muppets if this sort of thing goes on? Should've kneecapped the scrote and got the job over with.

True but your insurers are indemnified(sp?) for uninsured loss recovery. There is a special fund setup that allows you to get your stuff paid for. The fund administrators then try to recover the money if they can locate the uninsured person. In this case it sounds like the Police have the perpetrator so that bit should be okay.

Unfortunately this can seriously affect your no-claims. I'm not sure if they have to locate the person, or actually recover the money, before the affect on your no-claims goes away.

Real nasty. Oh and if you are fully comp you end up having to pay your excess and trying to recover that from either the scote or the uninsured loss people (not sure which).

Sorry to add to your bad news but you need to be aware of it. If you have legal protection cover on your insurance get them involved ASAP and get them to spell out all of this properly for you.
