Government to bring in motor insurance for vehicles off the road
Heard on the radio this morning that the government is to bring in new law's that make people insure cars that are garaged or parked on private land.
It sounds like you will have to have good reason not to have your car insured even if it never goes on the public highway
I suppose they have to find some way of getting back some of the billions they have spent on the credit crunch

I caught the end of the conversation on the radio this morning and thought i was hearing things.
Though if you sorn the car of the road, whats the point of insuring the car as you cant drive the car as its untaxed.
Like you said its a typical goverment scam to reclaim some money

The Goverment only take 5% so not as much gain as could be made somewhere else.

As I understand it if the car has a SORN against it then the legislation does not apply, so you could have a race or track car and trailer it to an event and not have a problem.
Mind you I could be wrong
