On my drive in this morning i heard on the radio that the government are proposing to make you insure a car even if it isn't on the road. Starting with a £100 fine and then if still no insurance they will remove your car. Has anyone else heard this and what does it mean for all the project cars scattered across the country? 1972 998 TURBO SLEEPER |

Just means that if it's taxed it has to be insured.

I don't see why it would be a pain for anyone. If you have a car off the road, SORN it, simple.

as wil says, its not really an issue tbh, just something else to worry about, as you will either renew or re tax anyways If its not an issue, why would you worry about it. If you worry about it its an issue On the SORN front, if you have had the vehicle off the road and the latest tax expired before 1st jan 1998, then SORN does not apply. If tax expired after thios date, it needs to be SORN'd If its taxed, it needs insurance, whether on or off the road. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

The blurb when it was announced was along the lines of the nice insurers helping the government to get the uninsured drivers off the road and making it easy for everyone by automatically dipping your bank account to renew your premium. Yeah Right!

How often does that happen though? I don't think that it really is going to affect many people. I would say that 99.99% of drivers will not even notice, let alone care. http://www.twin-turbo.co.uk

I agree. I have a car I only use in the summer. But the insurance for a year is £130 (as limited mileage policies are cheap). I bet temporary cover for a few days at a time would cost more, and then your car is not insured sat in your garage.
