Why would insurance cost me £500 quid for a 50cc bike?
Insurance is compulsory in the UK and all insurance details are held on the Motor Insurance Database (MID) – http://www.askmid.com/ownvehicle/ – so the police can tell instantly if your vehicle is uninsured (there are a lots of ANPR cameras around these days) so if you don’t have insurance your vehicle would be seized and you would receive a minimum of 6 points on your licence and a fine (future insurance would then cost you more as you have to declare any points which increases the price). The authorities consider insurance one of the most important things when it comes to vehicles (the penalties for no insurance are higher than offences like not having a licence, road tax or MOT) so make sure you are always insured to ride/drive a vehicle or you could easily end up losing your licence.
