Hi
Had a letter from m.i.d (motor insurance database)today threatening me with a fine of £100 as my old 250b isn't insured or sorned off road.. its taken me 10 months to re register it and get an age related plate from DVLA where they automatically issued 12 months free road tax without any question of insurance, and as the bike is mot exempt I never gave it a thought to sorn it off road as it's in many pieces in the garage. So as I say it's one to watch out for!!

So as I say it's one to watch out for!! Yes, you may not be aware of it....but ignorance is no excuse, that is the "law" Even if you never had any intention to use the bike illegally... its just another introduced cash cow. C*nts. It is probably something that the clever people introduced to try and stop untaxed cars on the road...... The same clever people that removed the hard shoulder from motorways to increase traffic flow and ease jams.... |

This did cross my mind
When I registered the GT it was Historic and they taxed it without it being insured
Ridiculous when it was a year since registered the sent me a reminder to tax it even though it's free
So I taxed it again with no insurance or mot
Really should either sorn it or insure it I suppose 🤪
