The misses got a threatening letter today, telling her she will be fined, if she does not insure her car. Car is MOTed till august and taxed till end of January.
It is NOT on the road, and has not, and would not have been driven on the road unless insured.
I always believed that DRIVING without insurance is an offence, but parking it in garage etc does not need insurance.
Seems the new rules are that it HAS to be insured, even if never driven on the road?
How do I now keep a spare car, in the event we need it, so taxed, MOTed etc but safely off road, so that we can just log in, insure for couple of days etc, then park back up?
If we sorn it, we then have to tax it for just 2 days (a whole month) then sorn it again?
What a stupid new system?
