SORN insurance, what a rip off

[Bibio]

long story but i have acquired a honda blackbird and to insure it because of the new rules its going to cost £121.04 don't forget the 4p.

anyone want to buy a blackbird

[tigersaw]

why do you need to insure it when SORN?

[Bibio]

new rules. all vehicles on a SORN must be insured.

[Paul the 6th]

he either:

- Lives in the ends so wants it insured in case it gets nicked regardless of being sorn
- doesn't understand that if it's sorn you don't need insurance (but if it's NOT sorn then it needs insurance)
- has found out the blackbird is a deathtrap and he wants rid but has thought of a great story

Cant think of any other possibilities

You don’t have to be driving to be caught. It is an offence to keep a vehicle without insurance unless you have notified DVLA that your vehicle is being kept off the road by means of a Statutory off Road Notice (SORN).

Have I just saved you £120? Can I have my 20% commission for doing so? Have you been mis sold ppi that you didn't want or need? I could save you more money bibio...

i'm not sure of it..just taken this off the dvla
The new vehicle insurance law - don't be caught out

Stay insured - stay legal
Watch a video on the new rules on being insured and penalties you could face
Stay insured
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
if your vehicle is recorded as stolen, passed or sold to the motor trade or between registered keepers
if your vehicle is recorded scrapped or permanently exported by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing (DVLA)

ermmm i think i'm an idiot and have not understood the new rule.

if it's sorn'd i don't need insurance, right?

[pookie]

looks like it..check the link..thats how I read it

[Paul the 6th]

It's the same set up as the road tax - you either have to have the vehicle taxed and insured... or if you don't want to you actively have to declare that it's off the road via SORN = no excuses if you did get caught on the road because you declared that the vehicle is off the road, so all the scrotes without road tax or insurance are loading their own guns for when they get caught, no defence whatsoever

[Bibio]

.... yes £121.04 in my pocket.
