Whealie said:HID lights require levelling that is not possible on a bike. Definitely illegal on the road.
Whealie said:If you have told your insurer you have fitted HID and you have evidence of that then they cannot refuse to pay, but all I spoke to said they would not insure a bike with an illegal modification. HID lights require levelling that is not possible on a bike. Definitely illegal on the road.

So by this reasoning if you were TP&T or TP only then you might as well not bother telling the insurance company about anything that might boost your premium such as previous bans, points etc.as you (personally) are protected against third party claims so in essence it makes little difference.
Even if you get stopped by the law you are legal on paper so as far as the former drunk driver is concerned its a no brainer.
