right, a friend of mine had a car crash on thursday. She drove into the back of a third party (slowly, minor damage, no injuries, both cars drove away).
upon inspection of her documents, it turns out her car tax had expired (by 4 days), and her MOT expired (by 1 day).
insurance fully paid and up to date.
She is now, this moment, now, having kittens at the prospect of going to prison or whatever for having invalid insurance.
what's the deal? - will her insurance company leave her high and dry for the sake of a couple of days? - or can she expect / hope for a little understanding?
what does STW have to say?
