I fully accept what you say about having too much on your plate, etc, and understand your course of action. What is a grave concern to me is the wider implication of loss of control over what happens to my vehicle, especially in a non-fault case. My mis-trust of the insurance industry ever-deepens!
CIE is a farce. It was launched amid a flurry of publicity hailing it as the end of uninsured cars on the road. Most news outlets incorrectly stated that all cars have to be insured, not that all cars which are taxed have to be insured. In practice, no-one has been able to drive uninsured with impunity for years, thanks to ANPR. All CIE has actually achieved is made it much harder for someone to keep a car for occasional use (swapping insurance from one car to another), and to sell a car (when it is desirable to keep a car taxed) after buying a replacement. It has achieved almost nothing, other than to make the lives of people going about their legitimate business harder!
cheers
