On Friday night I was pulled over by the police on my way back from Avebury, according to their database; my car is un-insured, now this is a data base that is 68% accurate on vehicles [Reference]. Now Insurance details are dealt with a different database, one that not all insurance company’s send there data to [The Police officer who pulled me over told me this]. now rather than the police doing police work and investigating me for not having insurance, they ask me to prove that I do have insurance, (so much for innocent until proven guilty).
So After taking my MOT, Insurance, and Drivers licence to the police station, and having to prove my innocence, for a offence they can not prove has been committed, but is also statistically unlikely to have been committed by me. (You need insurance, and an MOT, to get a tax disk, and mine is only a month old [This is on my car])
Today I have been playing with getting with my drivers licence, and now have sent it all off to the DVLA to get it updated to a full pink one,
While filling out my D1 form I noticed a section on it relating to being an Organ Donor; While I was in NY, Manda, Ian, Dave and Myself were discussing the campaign for opting out of organ donation. Now I am opposed to implied consent, however the other three thought that implied consent is a good idea.
I am all for organ donation, as such on my drivers licence I have consented to my organs being available for transplant, but since they asked for me to Opt-in, and I agree with organ donation, I did.
