There is a tendency to assume that the relative importance of items US/UK is the same, this is probably an example where it is not. We just had a semi-hilarious (to me anyway) conversation about this over the w/e. Me: Hey, your new insurance cards are still hanging on the fridge here, why don't you put it in your car? Himself: But, it's not valid until the 14th. Me: hunh? Himself: It would be an invalid insurance card; it doesn't start until the 14th. He thinks he has to change the cards out *on the day*. He's been doing this for all these years and I never really noticed. I gave him the 'status vs evidence' argument. Him: What do they do if they pull you over and you don't have the insurance card with you? Me: They give you a ticket and you take proof of insurance downtown and they tear up the ticket. We can just get fixed in our ideas of what is 'right', whether it's based in facts or not. |

I recall a case where the visa applicant had been involved in an auto accident while driving his employer's truck making deliveries. The applicant stayed on the scene and gave the cops the relevant information. It turned out that the employer did not have automobile insurance. In the country in question, a commercial driver without insurance involved in an accident was guilty of "hit and run." Weird. |

Hi:

As for DUI, my understanding of CIMT is a crime that would undermime moral standards of humanity and although my source is here >http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_turpitude I persoanlly feel that it shouldnt be scocially or morally acceptable and the reading in wikipedia states it is not a CIMT, but if any doubt consult an attorney |
