What happens when the car (or registration) is sold, does that mean the new owner cannot get insurance?
No..the new owner will tell the insurance company he is a new owner. A logbook can be used to confirm it.
Taking it to the next step and using it for insurance is a good idea but it’ll never happen. You can have video evidence of someone driving badly or even attacking you and it’s still rare they’ll get charged.
Carlton Reid recently went to court after someone deliberately drove into the back of him. He had to argue for a long time using his detailed and very coherent knowledge of the road rules/driver behaviour to win the case. If he struggles I suspect the rest of us will fail.
Ta for that..I didn’t know it existed. TBH I know the police aren’t interested in prosecuting drivers, I’m just wondering if there are other ways crowdsourcing and technology can be used to highlight…maybe stigmatise is the right word…bad drivers, rather than going down the law enforcement route…which as you point out..is a dead end for cyclists.
A sort of 21st century way of bunging someone in stocks or putting their face in a paper.
