Odd how ?The issue is not one of usage or asset protection, it's about eventually bringing it back to France and for that purpose French insurance must continue without a break.
-
OP is not not UK resident therefore UK insurance not available.Bike is not UK regged therefore UK insurance not available, (maybe for re-registration purposes but that's not relevent).The plan fails in any case because non French insurance won't count.

[quote user="Pierre ZFP"]have not been thrashed as the speed limit is strictly enforced 120 kph[/quote]Except when they are driven outside Switzerland !Anyway since when was 160 or even 200 in a modern car 'thrashing' [:D]I doubt changing in UK is a good idea, second hand prices in France are stupidly high but at least offset the cost of the replacement.Selling in France and buying in UK is probably the most advantageous.

Both posts by ventodue contain disinformation !2. If you are UK resident, then you can use the vehicle here on UK plates, normally for a period of up to 6 months but in any event not for more than 12, provided you continue to comply with UK statutory requirements (tax, MOT) and whatever your insurance policy says.It's actually 6 months in any 12 and regardless of what your UK policy says you are insured for minimum 3rd party risks for the duration of the policy, non compliance with other rules, such as having a current MOT, cannot and will not alter that.Afterwards, you can sell it on to a French resident.Legally a French resident is not permitted to purchase or drive a non French registered vehicle.When you sell the vehicle, you hand over the V5C to the new owner and declare the vehicle to the DVLA as being 'Permanently exported'. They take it off their 'live' database. Then, when the new owner applies to re-register it here, he hands over the old V5C to the French authorities. They make a check with the DVLA that the vehicle is no longer 'live' in the UK and 'Bob's Your Uncle' ...The French authorities make no such checks, following the change of registration - which happens on the day of application - they eventually return the V5 to DVLA and that is what triggers the change of status to 'Exported'.What you propose is potentially fraught with problems for a French buyer, not least of all because CoC's for commercial vehicles are normally territorial and not EU wide which could see the buyer n your doorstep demanding his money back and you wouldn't have a leg to stand on.If you French register it not only will you be able to sell it 'clean' but will also get a much better price for it.

I reiterate my previous reply, insurance policies are by EU law valid for the whole 12 months regardless.To cancel a policy an insurer must write to you at your last notified address giving you reasonable notice and a precise time and date when their cover will be withdrawn, they cannot do it any other way.
-
All motor insurance policies written in the EU provide 12 months minimum cover for their duration.No insurer can deny or usurp that even if they put terms in the T&C's saying otherwise.

Complete non question really, stiffness, 28 miles per day, what car wouldn't be suitable for that ?I'd do it in my MGB without batting an eyelid !

Unfortunately that correct but it's nothing to do with the two years.Because technically a vehicle should be continuously insured, even if off road and in storage, a break in cover will result in a refusal to re-insure.I'm pretty sure that the reasoning is that an insurer taking on a vehicle which has not been continuously insured potentially becomes liable for claims which might arise from the period when it wasn't.The only way to re-insure in that case is with a change of ownership which is only a paperwork exercise which you can perform with your OH or a friend but it will of course involve two lots of registration costs as you 'sell' it and then 'buy' it back.You may be able to get laid up cover but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't apply for what you want to do.If you've held the policy for over 12 months then you can cancel it any time you like, you don't have to wait for the anniversary.A friend of mine had enormous hassle when he bought a car which the seller (a mutual friend) delivered to his house but because he was due to be disappearing off to Spain although he did the registration change before he went he didn't insure it and just parked it up until his return.When he got back it wouldn't start so it was collected by a garage for repair so it wasn't until it came back from that a couple of weeks later that he went to insure it and quickly found that nobody would touch it because by then he'd owned it then for nearly 3 months without insurance.Eventually he managed to get the garage where it had gone for the repairs to declare that it had been in their possession for the whole of the time which satisfied the insurers but if he hadn't got that then he would have had to go through a sham change of ownership.

Having followed it on a sacrificial machine right through to unzipping the file - but short of actually running it - I can assure you that no such thing happened.It took five discrete concious voluntary actions on my part to even arrive at the point where the malware could potentially deliver it's payload.Open emailClick on linkEnter numeric codeDownload zip fileExtract payload

It's nothing to do with being an expert or perfect John, that misses the point completely !.

"One security expert warned clicking on the link would install malware"Utter and complete bo**ocks !Clicking the link takes you here which of itself is utterly harmless:[img]http://i.imgur.com/BRaQrHa.jpg[/img]However:IF you're daft enough to download a file like thatAND then doubly stupid enough to try to extract itAND then sufficiently mentally retarded to ignore the AV alert it triggersAND then cretinous enough to double click on the fileyou get ZERO sympathy from me.Stupid is as stupid does !

[quote user="Chancer"]I have given up advising people I know that their inboxes have been hacked, I get so many mails purporting to be from my friends that I would spend all day doing it[/quote]I repeat, that does not mean their computers or email A/C's have been hacked !
-
Of course it's a scam, it's not from Yahoo at all and they are after your login info which you'll willingly give them if you respond as it will ask you to log in again !Emails purportedly from people you know do not mean that your A/C has been hacked or compromised, if that happens the hacker will change the PW and you'll be locked out, scammers can spoof any email address.Never a bad idea to change your PW though [;-)]

I think the ultimate discriminator is whether you are simply disposing of surplus personal goods and items or buying in to sell on for profit.I think most people will know which applies to them and therefore whether a Paypal A/C used for such transactions should be declared or not. [;-)]

I used to regularly rent cars from airports when it was dark and always made a point of writing on the form simply "unseen due to darkness".At the very first opportunity in the light would examine the car for unlisted damage or marks and phone them instantly if I found the slightest thing and I did - often - but never had any comebacks.

Surely the mere mention of Western Union must be enough to warn anybody with just two brain cells bouncing about in an otherwise vacant cranium that it's almost guaranteed to be a scam !I can't help having some empathy with the police chief who's suggesting that the banks and credit card companies need to start taking a stronger line with 'victims' of online fraud who essentially have just been stupid and nieve and currently have little or nothing to lose by it.

While you might be right Nick and whilst it's true that you have to sort the wheat from the chaff I'm still happy to while my time away on Google

I really have no idea what motivates such a question on a Forum like this when the answer is a simple Google search away [8-)][url]http://lmgtfy.com/?q=while+versus+whilst[/url]

Home and motor insurance can now be cancelled any time after the first year, you just have to write and cancel.The only insurance you cannot cancel mid term is a mutuelle, that must be done the old way at renewal time.

You're right JJ but I was only really talking about the basic Kindles which is what we have, not Paperwhite or Touch.You can find your actual model number on the back and be guided by that but you'll probably need a magnifying glass though !I don't know why you call it a jar of worms and your URL to the keyboard version is in fact the same as mine.Personally I've yet to actually buy a book from Amazon so as long as USB works - and that's not going to change - whether it connects via WiFi or not is really of no concern [;-)]
-
If your Kindle is registered then you should have had an email notifying you of this - if it's necessary for your device.Keyboard Kindles should be on 3.4.2 and non keyboard 4.1.3[url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200529700[/url][url]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200774090[/url]

x2This is not the platform for such posts and rightly so.
