not something i've been involved with really but i thought that your car needed to be checked over to ensure it was road legal, and that your documents were up to date and you were compliant.
If this is the case then surely the person checking your vehicle needs to be qualified to do it. Or is that the potential get out clause for RM.
3rd party cover covers the individual/car/item, you come into contact with, once fault has been laid at your door, not any damage to your car, yourself, or items in the boot.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
