Ed..Come on pull it together.No need for such an attitude.
Did I say that you ignored anything? I mentioned the word contravene? Which you clearly did. Claiming to have not seen a road sign is little justification.
I am being pedantic here purely due to the tone of your reply.
Simple answer to your dilemma is insure with someone else if Halifax are p*ssing you off so much.
I do not think that the date one passes the test has any baring on the matter tbh.
I also cant understand why anyone would feel mentioning having succesfully passed the IAM on a motorcycle would have any baring on a car insurance issue?
