None of the rules have been broken.

Re: Driver wanted!!
 
I'm interested as to why a driver is needed. I thought it might be because he doesnt want to stop and therefore change drivers and get to London quicker. I can't see it as being an illegal request, if it was the other way i.e London to Edinburgh I'd be tempted - after telling someone the details of the driver and the car I'm going up in.I love going up to Scotland to meet mates.

In that case I'd want to know details of why I'm required, I'd also drive to a point in Edinburgh i.e Station where my mates would be waiting for me, and I'd want ID of the person to give to my friend who works in the British Transport police to run a quick check.

And then, and this is where things get difficult, I'd need the wife's permission - which I don't think I'd get, especially since I''m recovering from a slipped disc and find it difficult to sit in a car for the much shorter journey to her mum's (is that really due to my slipped disc tho ;) ) lol.

Just take some of those class A drugs you'll be ferrying up to Edinburgh and you should be ok.

It's not illegal AFAIK. If it was and I knew it, I would have closed the thread.

It's a unusual request, granted, but not an illegal one.

It would be illegal if there was no insurance or licence for the driver (and there was an implication of this).

So on balance - this part, I would say incites an illegal activity.

Need someone to help share driving from London(ish) to Edinburgh & back in one day, sometime in the next few days.

Will provide food on the way!

(Don't mind if you haven't got a licence, as long as you can drive a focus!!)

PM or email wessexmail-p2009@yahoo.co.uk if you can help!

After all, who would be foolish enough to drive 400 miles, mostly on motorways, with someone who has either lost their licence or not passed their test in the first place?

Actually I don't think the poster is doing anything illegal. He might be condoning an illegal activity, but it is the driver without a license that will be conducting the illegal activity.

I actually didn't notice the part about the license originally. I thought the poster was only refering to insurance.

It's his car, and he would be a passenger in it.
He would knowingly have permitted someone to drive his car without the proper licence.

Actually, if someone drives a car without a licence, then the authorities can hold anyone in the car who has a licence responsible.
