My insurance is up for renewal in five days so I thought I\'d leave insuring it for a month or so, take it off the road and do a few jobs.
Thought I\'d save a month, get all this bits done.
But I can\'t can I.
Doesn\'t the DVLA say if it\'s taxed it has to be insured.
The tax doesn\'t run out til June and I can\'t be bothered putting it on SORN
sending the tax disc in etc.
Any other way round this.
I know it\'s supposed to stop the uninsured drivers but what a pain
ohh its a pain !!
i got a letter from the DVLA & MID people saying that cause it wasnt insured , it shouldnt be taxed , i had to cash in the tax or i could face a £1000 fine
its a JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i put a thread up about it only about 3 weeks back
i even phoned them and told them to keep the cash , but ohhhh not - you have to either sorn it or insure it :(
As far as I know, you can just SORN it, you don\'t have to claim the tax back, but you must retax it from the point you put it back on the road.
Too many jobsworth Nanny state shinanigins...
