Re: Adverts warn to insure your parked car
Failure Sorn I don't believe is an endorsable offence.. DVLA currenlty send out a warning a couple of weeks after renewal if a vehicle is not taxed or sorn.. (we have about 12 vehicles registered with a lot of them off-road in peices so we sometimes slip up on sorn  )

Re: Adverts warn to insure your parked car
Just seen the TV ad for this. it's looking like a scam because it's telling you to check whether the car that you've always had off road is insured.
they never really emphasised that you just need to SORN it to be within the rules and legal. they seem to be pushing people to insuring the car.
talk about 'Junk Mail' and the vulnerable. what about the vulnerable car owner?
how many hundreds if not thousands are going to be panicking now and insuring the car that they don't have to. because the TV ad makes it sound like you have to or else?

Strange - my 84 year old mother in law had no problem understanding it; perhaps she wasn't looking for the worst possible misinterpretation?

She's probably more brighter than the average. there are many exceptions though.
you're lucky she didn't phone up and got it insured, and you didn't have to say "silly mother.. you didn't have to do that. you just have to SORN it not insure it. oh dear, what are you like, eh?"

The directgov website is very clear for a change

Re: Adverts warn to insure your parked car
Did you see the advert?
it said "you can check if your vehicle is insured on AskMid. the DVLA already has."
There's this video they've done. but it's not the one I saw on the TV.

Re: Adverts warn to insure your parked car
Saw it again!
"a vehicle that is not insured and declared off the road"
not "a vehicle that is not insured or declared off the road"
