VNUK insurance nonsense

[stevieturbo]

I know there are other threads, but couldnt find one in this section, and although probably pointless anyway, it does need to get to as wide an audience as possible.

I suppose this should be updated of the MSA trying to do something

So have I but the MSA tells you to follow the MIA guidance, but the guidance is for companies so you need to fill in the "as an individual" part and answer the right questions accordingly. It's simple, but you can't just follow the MIA guidance (unless you do operate a motor-related company).

They maybe want everyone to fill in as a business....because maybe the fktards in the EU might listen to the destruction of lots of businesses...before the annoyance of lots of private individuals.

Although we all know anyone involved with insurance at any level listen to no sense or give a fk about the general public...nevermind car enthusiasts or motorsport.

Except UK Govt says that on day 1 they'll copy and paste EU laws into the UK constitution, then worry about which ones need repealing later. Can't see this one being high up on their list.

OTOH, surely some of this is bluster from the MIA? Are the EU really going to effectively ban all motorsport including F1 and Le Mans? I realize that this is an unintended consequence of the new law but surely they see that something needs to be done?

F1 and LeMans may be able to self insure, if there is enough money backing them...depends what sort of level /value of risk is assigned to it all. If that's even possible.

But it goes far beyond motorsport, the ruling effectively applies to any motorised vehicle, even lawnmowers etc !
