Yes he is, give me ONE example of an insurance Co not paying out due to lack of qualifications.

 

I would be more than happy to argue in court that experience and transferable skills are of far more use than any bits of paper :001_smile:

 

You can argue with who you like if the judge says you guilty your guilty, its not just to do with insurance, if you killed someone due to a cock up the first thing they would look for is some form of official training, untrained and in court on a man slaughter charge, who do you think will cop for it? its a blame game, not saying its right and not saying cos you got this ticket or that ticket that makes you better than some one else its the world we live in, move on from the 1970s.

i went to make a claim once(it never came to anything) and when they sent me out all the bumf there was nothing about tickets on it or qualifications, they were only interested in the cost of the repair job

 

What if you injured a passer by or killed someone, i aint bothered about the insurance, things can be repaired bricks and motar and all that, it's life that will sting when it goes wrong.

:sneaky2::sneaky2: 15 years.

 

I think you underestimate the British Justice system, the police and CPA are useless, But once you get in court commonsense will often prevail.

 

I ain't worried in the least and I ain't jumping through hoops that mean jack.

I dont, i was in the prison service for 14 years, came across it all in that time, scroates by the boat load, and quite a few nice guys on man slaughter charges for one thing and another, you would be supprised how EASY it is to end up in the nick for an accident at work.

 

Each to there own, as long as we all sleep easy and are comfortable with life then theres no worries.
