New Motor Insurance Law

If you didnt know already, from the end of June 2011, if your vehicle does not have a record of insurance on the Motor Insurance Database (MID) or has not been declared ‘off the road’ by contacting the DVLA with a formal Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN), you will receive a warning letter in the post and face penalties and risk being wheel clamped by the DVLA unless you take action to stay legal.

Providing you have a current motor insurance policy and it appears on askMID.com then no fixed penalty will be issued to you.

You don't have to be driving to be caught. Keeping a vehicle without insurance is against the law.

Yep I have had to do my van as well

I got a whole workshop to do!

Don't think it will do much good I think it will only catch people like us with old cars or bikes that we don't use all the time and forget to do the paperwork. Stupid thing is i've got pre 1998 SORN vehicles that aren't on their database and don't need recording so perhaps I could get them on the road and use them instead!!

Yeah agree Owen people will just not bother registering them with the DVLA, probably make the situation worse rather than better.
