So the classic you are restoring, that is in bits has to be insured or it will be crushed?

Under the new offence of keeping a vehicle while uninsured, the onus will be on drivers to prove that they have insurance, or have completed a statutory off-road notification.

Ah, missed this bit in my Daily Soovy inspired ire!

However if you are not using a car on the road, why are you criminalised if you have not told the gummint. This is still worth a proper review as it is stupid.

If you are driving a car uninsured though, the powers that be should be able to check your insurance history: i.e. a forgetful moment in an otherwise clean history should not lead to crucifixion but if you have consistently taken the piss, licences should be removed.

i thought the PH opinion was uninsured drivers needed to be locked up?

It is. Uninsured cars that are not being driven is the point here.
