Do I need to tax my vehicle if I'm not driving right now?
I bought a motorhome and it's being delivered. Do I need to tax it if I don't intend to drive it for 3-4 months?

No – you can declare it as off the road with the DVLA. This is called a 'Statutory Off Road Notification' or 'SORN'. It'll have to be stored off the road, though – even if it's not being driven, you can't park it on the road if it's SORNed. This link should help: www.gov.uk/make-a-sorn

A car was gifted to me in a will, but I don't want it so it's being sold when acquired. Can I drive it on trade plates when uninsured and SORN'd, please?
If you take a car out of long term storage and drive it home to be garaged without tax or SORN, what would happen if the police stopped you? The car is insured.
