So what is the point of this? To try and catch you if you let tax lapse on a vehicle you're not using for no insurance offence as well?
What the **** is the point in being legal these days? Worth a letter to your MP.

Remember that this is an automatic guilty scenario, they don't need to do anything or catch you doing anything, if your vehicle is taxed and the insurance database says no valid insurance, the letter will be generated automatically. Kerching.
.....and you thought speed cameras were bad. I think this needs some active protesting, declare SORN for a day or two and then retax every month, they'll soon get fed up with the paperwork if a few million do it. Remember there's no penalty on tax disc refunds, you get the full pro rata refund (at the 12 month rate) providing you send it off before the first of the month. Send off for the refund on the 29th, retax the vehicle on the 2nd. Perfectly justifiable, you were going to have it SORNed off road for a few months then changed your mind, no law against that.

EHH?????
People don't insure their bikes if they are off road for winter? ALL my bikes are insured even if they are SORNd, as two are at the moment, what if someone nicks em? Its easier to buy a tax disc if I 'might' decide to put one on the road, than faffing with insurance, can't see the problem myself.

This has no conceivable benefit to the public. There will still be the same number of unregistered, uninsured vehicles on the road. Just more innocent road users who may get careless for a few days getting serious convictions and fines against them. It's a f***ing travesty.

well no, if you dont have insurance, for a few days or not your in the wrong. Normal coppers dont ahve anpr so it would be a benefit as it would just take a quick glanse of a tax disk?
