its a fair assesment of how it is
the more law abiding you are the more law abiding you are expected to be
another equality I found out recently when my mates insurers cancelled his car insurance for not providing them with written proof of his no claims, he was stopped and had his car seized. he got it back when he provided insurance but he had to go to court and was fined a £1000 and got points on his licence
after he was dealt with he sat at the back of the court while people with no licence or insurance where fined £150 and /or
community sevice, they also got points on a licence they dont hold
his insurance went up because he had been refused insurance and had been prosecuted for driving without insurance, so hes still paying
when he was stopped and rang the insurance company in front of the police to find out why he registered on their system as uninsured he offered to pay on his card there and then the balance between what he had paid and the full premium so he could get cover to drive the car away, his insurers agreed and renewed his cover but the police still seized his vehicle as it wasnt insured when he was stopped. he was on his way to an important business meeting and had to ring for a taxi and was late for the meeting
he explained all this in court to no avail, he wes told he should have checked he was insured before he drove off his driveway
the others in court just shrugged their shoulders and said they didnt know why they did it
