Very important, there are now no grey areas with regard to insuring or not insuring a vehicle you own.
New government law now states that if you own a vehicle you either have to insure it or declare it a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notice) in order to keep it without insurance.
If you are found to have an uninsured vehicle without a SORN to cover it you face a fine of £100.
This clampdown is aimed at reducing the number of uninsured drivers and vehicles on UK roads – about time too.
