Yeah, because insurance companies love paying out money and will happily ignore any fraud on your application when it comes to your making a claim!
And somehow I get the feeling this guy will have another smash. Might be a good thing really if he hits someone effectively uninsured and gets taken to court to recover the costs, then it might price him off the road, just think how much itll be for a person with 3 months driving experience with a driving without insurance conviction to their name to get insurance, if they can find an insurer.
Rather you than me buddy.
