Forget I said anything cos I am wrong. Fanny sez so ,so must be right.Being wrong.

Not sure you're right there matey...if its declared sorn then you don't need insurance...conversely, if its not sorn then you do need insurance regardless of whether its got no engine or no wheels!

Here's the quote from your own linky..



The new vehicle insurance law means that the registered keeper of a vehicle must keep it insured unless they've made a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN). 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

"If you're the registered keeper of a vehicle, it must be insured at all times.
The exceptions are:
if you have made a SORN for the vehicle
if your vehicle has been kept off-road since before SORN came into force on 31 January 1998 – unless it was brought back into use"

It DOESN'T need to be insured if it's SORNED.

I know, I have read it myself. A BBC news article started this off within the family earlier....the reporter was definitely saying that ALL vehicles needed insurance. And a colleagues sorn'd vehicle was recently taken from a pub carpark on the grounds that it had no insurance. The police were contacted and THEY were certainly of the view that ALL vehicles ,sorn or not, needed insurance.

Which is why I am a bit confused and rather upset....since,as I mentioned,I have previously been held liable when given wrong info by DVLA. On top of that, I got fined for a gap in tax/sorn because DVLA said that they didnt recieve my sorn application (pre online service) and that it was my responsibility to keep sending applications to them until I got a confirmation letter.The court supported this view and I was duly fined.

So,if I sound like a bit of an idiot that hasnt read his own link......I have good reason to be very suspicious and for jumping to erroneous conclusions. I freely admit to be more than a bit of an idiot.........

Your wrong insurance and tax or sorn-thats what the crap that came through with VED says

Oh good.Glad to be wrong then.

still takes the **** though
