..that's if he's bothered paying the finance company.
Could have defaulted/stopped paying and is just waiting for them to drag the car away.
I've bought a few ex-finance cars in the past that were "******-backs". Seems some people get a car and have no intention of meeting the finance agreements, or stop paying when they are bored with the car.

Yep - serves him right!
Why should the rest of us pay our taxes - and the tax on our insurance policy as well - when t8ssers like this bloke don't?
And what would he have done if the car had been nicked? Keep quiet for a few days whilst he insured it and then put in a claim? No, of course he wouldn't have done such a thing!

The most obvious reason why he has no tax and insurance is because he is disqualified, im in the same situation at the moment. Not all homes have drive ways, and im sure he has his reasons for not using next doors one.

And from the rest of the thread, he had a way out so seems pretty foolish whichever way you look at it.

I think it's funny.
It was SORN'd - that means Statutory Off Road Notice. And it was parked on the road.
It may be pedantic, but if he is doing one thing to save money yet then doing the opposite and leaving the car on the road, he has only himself to blame. OK, maybe he does not have a garage - tough **** for buying a car then SORN'ing it and expecting to get away with it.
There is always the option of selling it if he cannot afford it as that is what most people do. Why is there this expectation that someone owes you because of your unfortunate circumstances?
He did wrong and paid the penalty - that's life.

Hahahaha - LOL
Thank you for the compliment - appreciated.
Misfortune is an interesting word. Let's say I go and rob a bank with a gun and get shot by a copper. Is that misfortune? Should I expect everyone to say "ah, the nasty policemen shot him?, hope he is OK."
Do me a favour - misfortune is normally when something happens to you that is unexpected or unfortunate, or you did not plan to happen because you did not do anything wrong.
He did something wrong and got caught - big deal, but who did wrong - he did. In simple terms, had he not parked the car on the road, he would not have been caught.
Although that logic is obviously beyond you. Thus I suspect you are not clever - like me!

Just heard that a local 06 STI owner has had his car towed away by the DVLA today. It wasn't taxed, wasn't insured. It was sorn'd but he left it on the road outside of his house.
What's the point of having a car like this if you cant afford to tax it and insure it????
His neighbour warned him of the perils of doing this and even offered the guy use of his vacant garage.

My Subaru is neither Taxed or MOT'd, it is SORN, it was sat outside my house today off the drive as I was working on another car. Sometimes there is more to a situation than you forst hear.
PS it is however insured

Lots of people here quick to judge. Life is not always that predictable, I know this unfortunately. In my opinion its just the DVLA out to make cash.
I don't see any difference to a car being SORN on a drive, as opposed to be SORN parked on the road outside your house. If its not in use, and the guy is hoping to get a new job, sell the car or whatever so what?
Makes no difference to the chances of him driving it when uninsured, that is a whole different story. If he was using it, then he deserves what he gets.

Sorry but if your friends spent best part 2 months in hospital and another 6 months emptying a bag to pee and that is also not the end of his pain. after some idiot buys a old SCORN banger and crashed into them. 12 months on he as HAD to go back to work to pay bills not because he's well enough
I any of my 3 Children didn't tax and insure their cars, they could share the same fate, I would have no problem bubbling my kids to the Police.
IMHO

At no point has there been any mention of the guy actually driving the car.
Your kids & your friend have my utmost sympathy by the way..

I am not saying "if" the Car that hit my mate was fully legal the accident wouldn't have happened
but being insured and taxed etc the insurance payout would help him as he nearly lost job, house and 3 years of pain.Yes he will get some compo from uninsured driver but long winded and 10%
