Are you sure someone isn't confusing the new rules about insurance and road tax? i.e. Any vehicle must be insured unless it's SORN'd or has been kept off road since before SORN came into force in 1998

No road tax is a civil matter not criminal offence

Your insurance will say that it only covers a fully road legal car, unless you have off road cover (separate for cars only used summertime etc). if you only tax it 6 months then your supposed to tell the insurers it's in storage the rest of the time. That'll cover you if it gets nicked from your garage etc when not taxed

insurance companys will do anything to not pay out so car has to be road legal.did u know that if your van or lorry is overloaded and you are involved in a accident you are not insured and they will not pay out ...
