[Richard n Ann]

Your dream has come to an end.
A non driver.

It certainly has... He's even run out of posting privileges.. A non poster

I wish him luck, but at 27 has nothing ....

my grandad passed his driving test on a horse and cart before his job as a rag and bone man.
They gave him a full license haha
but seriously, im not surprised people drive without insurance with prices like this.
seriously considering it tbh

Sounds like Slobobobs grandson, he was a rag and bone man.. 29 foot something Winnie...

Remember that well @ShiftZZ

I'v met experienced fulltimers paying £2500!
Problem is also as living in van, greater risk.
Spoke to underwrites as fulltiming i do less mileage as more likely to be static for longer but to no avail.

 

[ShiftZZ]

As has been stated, its down to risk...
a 27 year old non driver, no address in the UK, traveling musician, no insurance history... Possibly driving a 3.5T vehicle, I know not fast, bt coudl do a lot of damage...

Would you insure him?

Looks a dead cert for a cavity search though it is said that some enjoy that experience.

Your dream has come to an end.
A non driver, itinerant musician. No one is going to insure you or sell you/lease a Motorhome.
A pipedream.

If you drive without insurance, I hope they throw the book at you.

We have tried to help with ideas of how the OP can make his dreams more realistic. It will need compromise on his part as well as a lot of work but if he wants to make his dream come true he has to put the effort in - as we all have done.

Are you sure this post wasnt a wind up? It sure reads like one at parts as do some of the op's additional comments.



I had my first camper van at 18 a 1967 vw splitty 1500 cc engine was dirt cheap to insure

I would pass my test first and then look at the practicalities.

Until then it’s waffle

I think genuine seems in keeping with some one of that background , slight lack of a grip on reality

When my nephew wanted to insure a motorbike the cost was prohibitive.

He bought an old Honda 125cc, insured it TFT, and just left it in his garage for twelve months.

At renewal time the price had dropped enough for him to afford insurance on a decent bike.

Also a slight lack of remembrance of a time where dreams were dreampt even if not totally practical by some of the more mature!!!!
