Basically when I bought the Vulva I obviously had to transfer the insurance over from the Pug, I then paid an extra 60 squids to insure the pug for 30 days on a "temporary" policy, hopefully until it was sold. Well we all know what happened next, so by the time the 1 month insurance expired she was locked up in my garage, incapacitated as it were . There was no way I was paying another £60 for another month so I didn't renew it, but that meant I had to send the tax back and claim a refund, and SORN it.
Apparently if it's taxed but not insured the bastards can now enter your property, with force if necessary, and remove the vehicle. This even applies if it's broken down in a locked garage and clearly not being used. It's because there are too many wankers driving around without insurance, but once again the honest people suffer because those "in charge" are so incompetent that they are unable to find an effective way to deal with a problem. Bloody idiotic!
Of course, with the pug untaxed and uninsured (and now that MOT has run out too) it's now become a logistical nightmare to get the thing fixed up and sold, hence it's become a garage ornament!
If you ever get a spare weekend Dai, drop it off down my road. Pretty sure it's an exemption zone around here as everybody seems to use the parking spaces as a dumping ground & they never get towed away or have notices put on them.
If you want it extra safe, park it right outside my back gate - considering there are about 50 parking spaces around here, the fact that I've had 3 untaxed & uninsured cars abandoned by poeple in that 1 spot leads me to believe that I have a small piece of land out there that doesn't actually fall under the jurisdiction of the UK government.
I'll put it to the test next time I spot somebody dumping one out there by shooting them & claiming diplomatic immunity...
