To have reported him

[Feelinguilty77]

Nc for obvious reasons. A friend of mine has told me he 'can't afford' his car insurance so just won't have any. I reported him to crimestoppers immediately.

I feel guilty as he's my friend but I'm disgusted at his attitude. He earns an ok wage and if/when he's caught he could lose his job. But why should he be above the law? I will never admit it was me if he asks, but I still feel guilty.

Tbf no one will do anything my ex was reported weekly no mot no tax no car insurance five months later they caught up with him five fucking months of motorway driving up and down the country on camera constantly

I reported my ex for drink driving. Reckless and feckless drivers shouldn't be on the roads.
Good on you op.

If he ran into a pedestrian they would not be able to claim for any assistance they need/loss of earnings through injury. So you've done the right thing OP, don't feel bad about it.

Good on you OP!

I do hope you're not the only person he's told or it'll be obvious if he gets randomly pulled over for no reason. I hope that if the police do catch up with him, they let on that it flagged as no insurance rather than them seeking him out.

Likelihood is that nothing at all will happen though and he'll get away with it. Which sucks.

Well done. He shouldn't drive if he can't afford the insurance. Driving isn't a right.

If he hurt/maimed/killed someone in an accident then not being able to afford the insurance wouldn't be much of an excuse.

You've absolutely done the right thing.

At least have the decency to end the friendship.

Come on!! Where are all the MNers telling the OP that’s she’s shocking for dobbing in her friend?!! Or is that saved for just benefit fraud?!
Good for you OP!

Obviouspretzel I pretty much have. He owes me a lot of money, is an entitled cf and I've backed right off. I'm not a total two faced cow.

Fair play then!

If you're in an accident with an uninsured/untraceable driver, you can claim through the Motor Insurance Bureau but it takes forever. The fund is made up through other drivers' insurance premium so YANBU OP. Can't afford to legally maintain a car? Don't drive.

That was my thinking Andromeida59. He feels entitled to keep his car on the road and break the law.
