New Motoring Offence
Discussion
Anyone else seen that there is to be a new offence announced in the Road Safety Act 2006 which was recently passed.The offence is " Being the registered keeper of a vehicle which the use of which is not insured". Can result in fixed penalty notices and/or seizure of uninsured vehicles. My historic car isn't insured because there's no engine in it! What about all the cars which are being built/laid up/only insured part of the year?

Doesn't apply if it's SORNed or pre SORN.
I'm assuming the link posted is just a shameless plug?
This was announced a while back, and doesn't make any difference as long as the car is SORN'd.
Though i do think it's perhaps a step too far, as it's all to easy to take the car off the road for a short period for say a quick engine rebiuld and the insurance slips but its not worth declaring SORN etc thanks to the DVLA's huge timeframe for processing said certificates, and the car will be back on the road before long.
Funny how they can take near 200 quid in less than 5 minutes, to get a refund on it or a SORN certificate through can months.
Here's hoping there's a little bit of a leaway.
*rant over*
*gets coat*

You're right. The website link is the author's very own. Pathetic.
