I see far too often various car accidents involving running from the Police in my local rag. This latest one reports that a 1 day old BMW crashed after running from Police. The reason? Because they forgot to insure the vehicle...
When I purchased my Fazer, the dealer (Harley Birmingham) said he wouldn't let me ride it away unless I could give him sight of Ins documents. I wasn't at all impressed by this, because I thought that was totally a reasonable thing to do! (I had the quote in hand, just needed 10 minutes to pay the Insurance company)
Has this happened to anyone else, or do dealers just not get involved? Is it their job to ensure we are road legal?
In this instance the car was a BMW. Is it a case of the Dealer looking for the easy sale and didn't want anything to get in the way of that?
