whats this crap i heard on the radio today about insurance for cars off the road ...

as title suggests

was listening to radio 1 today and they mentioned that soon all drivers will be receiving a letter stating that all cars wheher they r off the road or not will have to be insured. my plan was to let all the tickets and insurance run out of my rrc and trailer ir around after that when i get my b+e as im 23.
i got a 3 car driveway,i mean surely vehicles that r on a sorn will not come i to this catergory right ???

well apparently even if sorn they have to be insured.....

No cars that are SORNED are exempt.

From early 2011, a new law will mean that the registered keeper of a vehicle must keep it insured unless they've made a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). If you're not insured and haven't made a SORN, you could face a penalty. Find out what the change in the law means for you.

"Apparently" is a great word.

It usually comes just before a statement that has no bearing on reality.

Wrong. If it's sorned it won't have to be insured.

can you show us proof of this mate? coz everywhere I look it only seems to apply to taxed vehicles. It would be a nightmare if you owned a motor museum
