Insurance NOT required for SORN vehicles lol

Don't worry boys and girls were safe.

I did that on purpose just to scare you all didn't I. Honest.

[MartinDines]

its insane.

Ive been told if you take the rear beam off its no longer a 'car' by definition, and therefore no insurance is needed. may be wrong

[Mochachino]

Fuck that. My wheels aint touching any tax payed tarmac and im not contributing to any pollution. Ive got nothing to be fined for or contribute to with a car thats off the road.

[Paul]

F*ck that i won't be paying it.

Where have you read this?

[smiith]

I didnt think they could, as you arnt driving an uninsured car on a public highway...

They cant fine you if its on your own property, otherwise farmers and that with field cars, and just farm cars and quads, will all need to be insured..

I no it's bullshit tbh, can't really get my head round it.

Saw it in the Daily Mail, I know everyone's going to say what a shit paper etc but it is happening! Just found the link:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1348350/Forgotten-insurance-Your-car-seized.html

Seen another article about it on the net earlier as well but can't find it atm..

Anyone know if this is actually true? if so this is bollox is private land

[b0t13]

not sure about being sorn but something like this is coming in and its a fucking joke!, i suggest registering your extra cars to some jib jab in spain and let them send bills there lol

[Mochachino]

Hang on its fine and I agree with it. Abit of chinese whispers I think has happened.

Basically you get fined £100 if you insurance expire and your car isnt SORN. Last year my insurance was transferred from my saxo to my 307 and I didnt decalre the saxo sorn for a good 3 months and I wasnt fined. However, from spring time if that was to happen then I would get fined £100 for having a car not declared sorn and also uninsured.

The new rules mean that your car must always be insured - on or off the highway - unless it is officially registered with the DVLA as being off the road under what is known as Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN).


nothings changed really, just a £100 fine sooner for not decalring a car sorn cant have a single day of it being neither by sounds of it. Must be some leeway of like 5 days at least?

Basically a car has to be either insured or sorn 365 days a year.

We're safe guys, dont worry lol

[daveg1]

daily mail does say it wont apply to sorn

"The new rules mean that your car must always be insured - on or off the highway - unless it is officially registered with the DVLA as being off the road under what is known as Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN)."

Just read that in that article.

Edit: Beat me to it. Damn

[Paul]

Lol thats fine with me ^

Op made it sound like you need cars insured that are on your own land even if they're sorn. lol.

"insurance required for sorn vehicles".

Haha that will teach me to read the article through thoroughly! I just saw that exact quote. O well loads of people can read the title now and shit themsleves lol

[LVC]

Maybe it'll arrive as it's already in place in France and you even have to have little 50cc pocket bikes and quads insured even if they stay on your own land :panic:

The argument the state gives is that if someone nicks them and has an accident with another person the 3rd party can claim agains't your insurance - great logic so we're paying insurance now for thieves who nick our stuff :wall:

I've not declared not insured my boy's quads nor my dirt bikes and if some fucker wants to steal them then it's not car insurance he'll be needing but medical once my dogs have had a go :boxing:

[Mochachino]

Lol thats fine with me ^

Shit me up! And wound me up lol imagine if that did happen though :panic:

[Chris_O]

Yeah I wound myself up about it too, what a dick I am! To be honest though i could see them doing something like it at somepoint!

[MartinDines]

I think to insure a car you need a valid mot.

So insuring sorn cars would be impossible 99% of the time
