THESHEDMAN, "Hymie, I thought that since leaving the EU you were only allowed to stay in the EU for 90 days anyway "

Folk can stay in an EU country without a visa for up to ninety day within a 180-day period but need a visa to stay for a longer spell.

If the insurance policy gives a limit of ninety day, it would need to be revised and likely involve a higher premium to maintain cover for the vehicle for a longer period.

I would suggest if your insurer is asking for extra premiums for driving in Europe.....you change your provider.

[theshedman]

How many people are going to need insurance for more than the 90 days. Not many and not all insurers put it up and if they do not by a lot I would imagine. This is just Hymie having another brexit moan. We are out so what ever happens we need to make the most of it and make a success out of it and stop the non stop moaning that some seem to enjoy.

[THECORBYLOON]

ZACS, that legislation was introduced following an European Court of Justice decision that meant vehicle insurance would be needed on private land and for vehicles not intended for use on public roads in Great Britain.

The Act removed that requirement but it does not affect the need for insurance whilst in an EU country.

[Zacs-Master]

'it does not affect the need for insurance whilst in an EU country'
I never said it did, TCL. The salient bit is
'British motorists will be spared a possible £50 annual insurance hike, as the government continues to assist with cost-of-living pressures and uses post-Brexit freedoms to scrap a controversial EU law'

//Well, NJ, the Multiverse theory postulates that there is a reality in which anything and everything can and will occur,...//

So somewhere in the "multiverse" there are people who can strike a match on a jelly, an England team that won the World Cup and intelligent people who voted for Brexit! Sounds good!!! :-)

[Zacs-Master]

Exactly!

[Hymie]

According to this DM article we spend 150 billion pounds on the NHS, and according to the OBR our economy has lost at least 80 billion pounds due to Brexit.

That is more than 50% that the NHS costs – of course whether Brexiteers believe either of these figures is anyone’s guess.

^They don't mention Brexit as the cause in your link but may be your good at reading between the lines. Meanwhile economy's are booming in the EU yes?

[gulliver1]

BREXIT is starting to bite you Brexiteers in the Pocket and so it should do . you load of idiots let just one man radicalise you .
Vote in haste repent at leisure, ha ha ha, enjoy.

[bobbinwales]

Surely noone really thinks like that

[bobbinwales]

It's biting remainwrs equally so why your laughing?

//According to this DM article we spend 150 billion pounds on the NHS, and according to the OBR our economy has lost at least 80 billion pounds due to Brexit.//
Hymie your confused and comparing one apple with a bag of oranges. The OBR estimate of £80 billion which may be right (and may be too high or too low, depending on who you ask) covers the period since the vote which were 6 years ago, so that works out at about £14 billion PER YEAR which is still alot but its only a fraction of the NHS annual budget .
You still havent said what we should do though, and gullivers only suggestion is to laugh

[Hymie]

I’ve news for you – the OBR figure of 80 billion pounds lost to the UK economy is an annual figure. My comparison with the annual cost of running the NHS is for illustrative purposes, in case like TTT & NJ you think this is a piffling amount of money.

Ultimately the UK will have to re-join the EU (or at least the Customs Union) if it wants to regain some of this loss. But with the Tories and Labour wanting to polish this turd that Brexit is; us getting together with the EU won’t happen anytime soon until our leaders acknowledge the bleeding obvious.

[Hymie]

Worth a listen if you still think Brexit is a good idea:-

Can you provide a link to substantiate this? I've asked before and all I got was links similar to the one above. James O'Brien believes that anybody not living in Islington had no right to vote in the referendum. He has been prattling on in that vein, usually insulting the 17m people whom, like you, he has decided are stupid, for the past six years, so hardly a good source of information.

i do not think all brexiters are stupid… they obviouslu are not…. but i do think it is dishonest to claim that the economics was irrelevant in 2016… i don’t recall ANYONE on the leave side either in the public realm or that i knew personally saying that they were willing for the uk’s economy to suffer if it meant leaving the EU… the line back then was that it either would have no impact or it would have a positive one…

it was only much later that brexiters started claiming that actually they had never really cared about the economy

[Hymie]

I’m not sure why NJ is not ringing in to this program to put James O’Brien and his callers’ right.
