South West trains doesn't want cyclists as 'customers'...
"Jon Senior" wrote in message ... To elaborate. I suspect that as with many aspects of law in Britain, the insurers would have to show intent. If the reward is after the event, then there cannot have been intent. Jon Surely there only needs to have been prior agreement? The fact that X agreed to pay a hitman only after the hitman succeeded in murdering X's wife, in no way lessens X's intent to murder his wife. Proving this in relatively trivial cases, such as the above, might well be a different matter however. Curious |

On the contrary, insurance companies have defended it successfully in
the courts, time and again. I vaguely remember publicity about this clause being relaxed to allow car-sharing where costs are given to the driver as long as there was no element of profit. It pops up occasionally on the news.

Cheers, helen s A quick google shows lots of info about it - such as http://www.est.uea.ac.uk/transport/s....asp#Insurance "Insurance The Association of British Motor Insurers has agreed that ride sharing should not increase the cost of your policy or affect the level of cover as long as there is no element of profit. A statement from the Association of British Insurers appears below. You are strongly advised to let your insurance company or broker know that you are ride-sharing. A pro-forma letter is included for you to complete and forward to them. If you encounter any difficulties with your company, please let the Transport Co-ordinator know. Motor Conference Undertaking: The receipt of contributions as part of a ride sharing arrangement for social or other similar purposes in respect of the carriage of passengers on a journey in a vehicle insured under a private car policy will not be regarded as constituting the carriage of passengers for hire or reward (or the use of the vehicle for hiring) provided that: - a) The vehicle is not constructed or adapted to carry more than eight passengers (excluding the driver) b) The passengers are not being carried in the course of a business of carrying passengers c) The total contributions received for the journey concerned do not involve an element of profit Note: If in any doubt whether a car sharing scheme arrangement is covered by the terms of a private car policy, the policyholders concerned should make an inquiry to their motor insurers.Click on the link below for a standard letter template (Supplied by the British Association of British Insurers, 1998)" Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

The vehicle is not constructed or adapted to carry more than eight passengers excluding the driver. 2. The passengers are not being carried in the course of a business carrying passengers 3. The total contributions received for the journey concerned do not involve an element of profit Note. If in any doubt whether a car sharing scheme arrangement is covered by the terms of a private car policy the policyholders concerned should make an inquiry to their motor insurers. Motor Conference is the Standing Joint Committee of the Association of British Insurers and Lloyds Motor Underwriters' Association (Supplied by the Association of British Insurers June 1998) /quote No my dad did not use this, but if anyone here is concerned, this looks like the ticket. That's very useful, thanks. My experience and knowledge all dates from before 1998, when the situation was clearly very different. This clarification from the Association of British Insurers is very welcome, and I apologise for not being aware of it. |
