As RT said if you are law abiding nothing to worry about.
On our street there are 2 builders who never tax their vans when they are due, one ran out last month, annoys the hell out of me. One guy on the street never sells his old cars, just keeps them on the drive, bet his 1988 Nova which is now covered in moss is not on SORN or insured. Family at end of street run an S type Jag for the summer and a Ford Explorer for the winter, both have same plate, wonder if they really pay £80 twice a year to transfer the plate, keep meaning to look at the tax disk as I walk past.
If they are on his drive, why does this upset you so much? Not altogether sure why is deemed necessary to insure a car that is parked up and unused either, particularly if you aren't too worried about it being stolen?
It upsets me because he is breaking the law, the insured part came in some time this year, and I was threatened with a fine when the DVLC made a mistake about one of my cars. It was on a SORN (and insurred) and in the garage but the DVLA had not noted the fact and sent me an £80 fine, when I sent them a copy of the paperwork they quickly cancelled the fine.
Its the law and should apply to everyone exactly the same, I am asking for nothing other than what is fair and just.
It costs nothing to SORN anyway and since the cars on his drive will never be driven again why does he not simply have the council to take away the cars, its free.
