Firstly, i did not say i hope she gets whats coming to her, but the law is the law and i cant see how being someones friend should make any difference as to whether i feel she should pay the price or not. As a fellow driver i pay higher premiums to compensate for the fact that many pay none at all, we had our car badly damaged by an uninsured driver 12 months ago that has cost us a lot of money, both insurance exsesses and higher premiums because we had to claim. I simpy asked because she is gloating as she feels she has been let off!!!! and she is well aware of my feelings on the subject, she is also well aware that she told me she was insured and also that she had seen the documentation, which i now know to be untrue as she told me her brother had only told her about and not shown her the insurance docs. I do feel bad for her and i will support her whatever happens we have been friends for over 20 years but that does not excuse the fact that she drove uninsured. I just think she is very lucky that she was pulled over and caught out rather than being involved in an accident. I can not pretend to condone what she has done and why should i, i would feel just as dissapointed if it was a close family member.
