Hi All,

I am checking the experts on this forum. I was given a NIP for doing 52 in a 40 limit. Was just going to take the 3 points and £100 Fine. But I checked the camera on my way back throough that road and there was a light pole in front it with  big 2 foot wide blank metal panel strapped to it. I took pictures and happy to private message any reponders with the pictures.
I checked the law on obstructing cameras and I suspect they might be breaking their own law. There is a logo on the back of the sign that points to [link removed by mod]

If I am right this sign has been in front of this speed camera for months. That means every speeding fine issued is invalid.
Should I raise this as mitigating circimstances or just keep quiet and take the fine?
regards

Hi BertiB.

Saga are dealing with the complaint. Already decided to move to another provider and just waiting on confirmation of my no claims bonus with Saga. Decided to hand this off to a specialist legal company.
Your members have been helpful just to confirm I am not insane here.

The email says exactly as
This sentence in the subject line:
You’re Covered - Here are your Saga to indurance documents. I can send an exact image of it by private message. The Saga manager focussed on the wording of the subject line as well. You may be into something here.

Hi Manx Tom,

A complaint has been lodged with Saga.

I denitely received a your covered email. when ai followed the kink later. the policy documents were not visible.

I did manage to see the updted quote on the day and downloaded it. It had a document number to help saga it team track down the pdf.
The issue is:
They sent a "your covered" email 27 dec but did not back it up with documents.

I am stuck here until Saga admit the IT admin error or produce the policy documents.
Regards
Mike

Hi Southpaw,
what is not explined by saga is that I got a "Your Covered" email on 27th Dec. it must have been triggered by the agent otherwise I would have not got the "your Covered" email. Unfortunately it did not have pdf attachments with the updated policy. It just had a link to go to the portal to view documents. I can email it to you as proof.

You are right, of course. This this not fix the original police stop which did include an MIB check at the roadside.
My defence was, I took the "your Covered" email literally.

Facing denial that my renewl activity atually happend. Called for the voice logs and suspect, I am up against a big corporate here.
If they just admidded it was an IT screw up or an agent error. Then I submit that to the police. No intention of pursuing Saga.
Already moved on to a more modern insurance provider.

Hi MickR,

There are two online statments from Saga that point to my expectation:
FAQ On their website: https://www.saga.co.uk/car-insurance/faqs?srsltid

How do I renew my policy?
You will be sent a renewal invitation at least 21 days before your renewal date. Your renewal invitation will then also be available for you to review and renew for home and motor policies on MySaga. If you pay by Direct Debit or set up a continuous payment when you took out your policy, don’t worry we will automatically renew it for you.


Once I've purchased car insurance how can I get my policy documents?
We automatically send an email with a link to your documents so that you can review and download them at any time. They will be added to your MySaga account within 24 hours. If you have requested for your documents to be sent out to you in the post, you should receive them within three to six working days.

Hi To be accurate.

wanted to reduce my existing saga policy and called them on 24th dec 2025.then again on 27th dec 2025.

Stopped by Police on 23 March 2026. Showd me the MIB result showing no insurance.

Original Saga Policy Was third Party Fire & theft. Due to expire on 16 Jan 2026.

Hi Everyone I need some urgent help.
Caught by Thames Valley police with No insurance. They showeds me online MIB result.
Been sent a NIP dated 24 March 2026.
sent proof that i recived a "your Covered" email on 27 Dec from Saga.
Can send any copies if you want to see it.
Was calling them on 24 Dec to reduce my monthly costs to third party only.
Recieved "your covered email" on 27 Decand waited until 21 jan to renew my car tax. Figured that if old policy expierd on 16th Then when I updated applied on DVLA it would check MIB and issue tax if I passed.
Called saga to speak to agent that took my call. She has left the company. Lodged complaint with Saga. Asked them to produce voice recordings.When I spoke to agent.

Taking this to court but a 65 year old pensioner on universal credit. Very Worried as lawyers quoting me over £1300 just to write to thames valley and get the case dismissed before even going to court.
Need any help you can provide. Hear good things about this forum.

Regards
Mike
