How do travellers and gypsies get insured?

[fizz47]

On c 4 there's a program about gypsies / travellers and a lot of them are driving some expensive cars. How do they get insured if they live in a caravan and no fixed address?

Travellers are above the law. It's their human right.

You really have to ask, OP?!

[Adz The Rat]

Most of them do actually have addresses, even if its just something like Plot 1 at a caravan park.

They will have relatives living in a perminant res where they are registerd to, at least the ones with insurance do

answer: they don't.

question for the OP, hoe the fk do you trace a traveller? not only do they lack an address they pay for everything in cash.

Im sure there will be lots like you mention that don't bother but the ones I know have permanent addresses, I've seen it on logbooks when we have sold or bought cars with them.

Yes of course- the cars will be registered to something like "plot 13". Only there are only 12 plots on the site (the 13th has never been occupied, etc etc)

Didn't we have this before? They register them to the address of someone they know who lives in a house. Not all of them travel. You can't get away with no insurance in these days of ANPR.

The big question is how they afford such nice cars in the first place, after paying all their income tax and N.I.
