New SORN Law / Untaxed Vehicle starts 1st Oct

Post by roryb »

As from 1st Oct 2008, under a new legislation (Finance Act 2008) means that New Powers are in force which makes it an offence to use or keep an UN Taxed Vehicle on "Off Road" Area's and Land.

The change gives authorised persons the power of entry to carry out enforcement action, i.e., wheel clamping or removal.

There are only three exceptions to this new rule:

1. Where the vehicle is on private land which is associated with its dwelling and is SORN against that address.

2. Kept on the business premises of a motor trader.

3. Kept on the business premises of a vehicle tester.

So what does all this mean, well apart from the Government earning yet more money from us motorist, it means no more parking your untaxed vehicle at you local Pub, your friends private resident parking bay, the back of your Dads shop etc, even though its all private, off road and with or without thier permission.

You have been warned. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

So off roading? Using a bike that is sorn'd in an 'off road' area is an offence?
