In front of me I have a book called "Blackstone's Police Q&A; Road Policing 2006"

I thought I could be fun if we have a little pub quiz.

Rules:
  • No Googling or use of reference materials, only use your existing knowledge and common sense
  • 10 points will be added for correct answers, 4 will be deducted for wrong answer.
  • There will be a total of 15 questions over the next week, which will be posted from 7pm onwards.
  • Winner gets OcUK kudos.
  • You can join in at any time, but obviously you will be at a disadvantage as the quiz progresses.
So here goes:

Question1
NEWBURY persudaed DAVIS to lend him his car to take his mother shopping. DAVIS agreed to do so, but on condition that NEWBURY arranged his own insurance. Whilst driving DAVIS' car, NEWBURY was involved in an accident, and it was discovered that he had no insurance and that DAVIS' insurance did not cover him to drive either.

Would DAVIS be guilty of 'permitting' an offence by NEWBURY of driving without insurance?

A. Yes, becuase permitting without insurance is an offence of absolute liability.
B. No, because he told NEWBURY to insure the car before driving it, and has therefore discharged any liability for this offence.
C. Yes, because even though he told NEWBURY to insure the car, he should have seen evidence that he had done so.
D. No, becuase permitting without insurance is not an offence of absolute liability.

B although its up to the copper whether he believes him or not ie depends what davis says
 
C.

eg, when somebody comes to testdrive a car you're selling, you don't just trust them to be insured.
 
The car was taken with the R/Os Consent, its down to the owner of a vehicle to make sure the vehicle is insured? But at the same time you cant have 2 policies on 1 car can you? so im saying D
 
B. The car was loaned on the understanding that NEWBURY arranged insurance prior to driving it, so DAVIS did not permit NEWBURY to drive uninsured.

Click to expand...

You can. If you have an "insurable interest", you can insure something. But if two (or more!) policies are in effect, you can only claim against one.
 
Can I play? If so;

D 99% sure; as this happened to a close family friend who lent out his car.. (although it could be B as I dont know whole story..)
