You don't add 9 years to your age by accident.
This is a cultural issue with some types were they need to appear to have all the big ticket branded goods.
Clearly he can't afford to run a BMW!
I have never heard of that before You don't add 9 years to your age by accident.

A cultural issue? I take it you don't know many because that's firmly in the relms of knowledge on the back of a fag packet. You don't add 9 years to your age by accident.

If you're so inclined, then check his reg on askmid from your phone or tablet - that'll give you his policy details, rather than simply whether he's covered or not. Then an anonymous letter.
For my vehicle it just shows as whether it's insured, not the insurer.http://stayinsured.askmid.com/about-askMID.html

Also is it not illegal to check a vehicle that you aren't authorised to, as the website states?
Yep: breach of DPA 1988 Section 55. However where there has been an accident then you may have reasonable cause.

It doesn't stop some unscrupulous individual/s from abusing the system though.
I recall having lunch with 5 of my staff some years ago. 2 of us were white, 4 Pakistani. Bare with me for the relevance- this isn't a dig.
the 4 British born Pakistani lads all lived in Bradford city centre. Even as decent men, all in employment, car insurance was nigh on impossible.
Bradford (I think) has the 5 worst postcodes in the top 10 listed in the UK for no ins/ins fraud/crime related to cars.
All 4 of them has their cars registered to out of town, rural location addresses and insured from there. The properties themselves being owned by distant relatives.
They were dead honest, its fraud, but the only way they could even get on the road. We're not talking young lads either- normal men in their 30's/40's driving mundane stuff, in proper normal employment.

By "nigh on impossible" you mean possible but expensive. They couldn't afford cover so they committed insurance fraud. When what they should have done is give up their car, or buy a lower rated cheaper car. the 4 British born Pakistani lads all lived in Bradford city centre.
