Clean licence?

[John Benton]

I got told that on a commercial vehicle you are not insured if you are not a name on the policy, even if you have the owners permission. Not sure if that's true or not, maybe someone could confirm.

Thats right John, I have to be named on my wife's car, none of that 3rd party cover if you're fully comp like you get with a private car.

I actually meant the other way round, so say my mate wanted to borrow my van, unless he is named as a driver on my policy, then his own insurance doesn't cover him for driving a commercial vehicle. I guess it's the same the other way round as well then, your commercial insurance doesn't cover you driving a private car.

Clean licence at the moment - touch wood very very strongly ! - all my previous points for speeding have dropped off now but had to stop riding bikes before I killed myself.

Having recently moved house I thought I'd better change my address with DVLA, so my license has come back clean. It did have some points still written on there, although expired, so I was excited to get it back (as sad as it sounds).

Got flashed by a speed camera van a fair few years ago. Hiding as usual.
