and don't have inclination to search :smt002 but hope it helps


The Motor Insurers’ Bureau has launched the free askMID mobile phone service to help millions of accident victims a year to check vehicle insurance details at the roadside.

The new ‘askMID Roadside’ service, which is only accessible via a smart mobile device at www.askMID.com can be used to check the insurance details of the other parties involved in a road traffic accident. MIB Chief Executive, Ashton West, believes the new mobile service will help these drivers and many others and take some of the stress out of collecting important information at the time of the accident.

The home page of askMID.com features a short video demonstrating the service and an MIB press release about the launch of the askMID Roadside service is also available too

Overview of the service

The askMID Roadside service provides drivers with an instant check of the Motor Insurance Database (MID) from their mobile phone - the user accesses the MID through a mobile-friendly web page. This confirms whether the other vehicle involved in the accident is showing as insured on the MID and provides the other party’s insurance details so that the claim can be pursued quickly. If the results from askMID checks are inconsistent with the vehicle involved in the accident, the user is advised to contact their insurer. In either scenario, the service signposts the user as to what to do next.

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

Could be a lot of help if used properly and not abused. I can see a lot of false claims being made.. And while that's happening, the NCB is suspended..
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Wonder if it would cover policies on taxis and white vans.

That's interesting, I'm imagining that it'll only say the vehicle is insured but not who is insured on that vehicle.... Still, a step in the right direction. Something to be improved on.
