arizona Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I usually sorn mine during the first couple of days after it has run out, easy to do online . As its only a couple of months would just put a little extra air in the tyres, running it a couple of times a week you'll notice if the battery needs the odd overnight charge but it probably wont need it and Make sure the handbrake is off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony47 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Lol. one of the reasons its off the road is no handbrake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzzzythedog Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 the second ( thats midnight ) it runs out otherwise the dvla will shag your wallet for lack of sorn to the tune of 80 quid , there is zero leyway , no days over , no seconds over , the only avoidence is taxing it or sorn the systems set up that you need to be a feckin machine , zero tolerance , rape you for money every time , dont hesitate and get it sorned online the night before it runs out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the only sticky bit is the insurance co. Anything happens and they're likely to kick up over paying out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax runs out end of this month so will Sorn the day b4................thanx for replies guys/gals...... its ok your insurance states you have to comply to the law of the land , that means if you break the law your insurance becomes nil and void , because of this you get to drive to the station and the cops will not enact the tax and test bullshit , you will need to be booked in though with your registration recorded , so if you have the exhaust filtted and moted your ok ,,, just go directly to the station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
