I think the simplest solution would be for insurers to write into the terms and conditions that once a vehicle has been sold and signed over to the new owner the policy is redundant.

I believe on parts of t'he continent you insurrectes t'he vehicle not t'he driver as it isn't going anywhere on its own ... Normally
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Very sad.
I think thats unfair. Why should the insurance company be landed with a bill because you couldnt be ar5ed to cancel a policy? They took on the risk of covering you on a certain bike. Thanks to our crap legal system they are forced to pick up the bill for a risk they didnt take on.

Mind you I dont understand the legality of this. After all, if the policy doesnt cover other people riding your bike when you own it ( and mine certainly doesnt) how does the policy cover them when you dont own the bike?
