Calling all Aussies and copper/ lawyer types rofl ;)

[NOCTURNAL]

sorry guys typed this yesterday and then didnt realise it hadn't posted till i looked back today... DOH!!

cheers guys, all as expected and fully agreed, and is the advice I gave , but as it was only my opinion of the facts I asked to ensure there wasn't anything I wasn't aware of if you know what I mean also to clarify whether an insurance company would indeed actually ask for the photocopy of the aforementioned licence, or whether the person insuring the extra person is just held accountable for supplying false information and hence the insurance would be invalid..
the person wantiing to be insured doesnt know that the insuring person knows about the driving licence being revoked, so if actually supplying the licence is required thats great as I assume the aussies do actually take the licence away physically?

I added my son-in-law's father to my insurance a couple of years ago so that he could drive my car while visiting the UK. My insurance company took down his details from me over the phone and did not require physical sight of his licence.

Might be worth asking the person wanting to be insured for a photocopy of his/her licence to send to the insurance company for verification.

The insurance company may not ask to see the licence but will insist on seeing it if there is a claim.
