"Currently if you aren’t using your vehicle on a road or in a public area you can make a Statuary Off Road Notification (SORN) declaration. This would mean that you’re exempt from paying Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and having motor insurance. With the upcoming Motor Insurance Review we could see this changing, so will SORN vehicles need insurance?"
"After a recent EU ruling known as the ‘Vnuk Judgement’ the UK Government is reviewing the current motor insurance laws. The main aim is to make it easier for victims of a motor accident on private land to claim compensation.
Currently we’re all required to have at least third party insurance on a motor vehicle which we intend to use on roads or in public areas. This could be set to change, and we could potentially see a wider range of motor vehicles needing insurance, in a wider range of circumstances.
There are two main options being considered by the Government, the Comprehensive option and the Amended Directive option. Depending on which one is chosen will determine whether SORN vehicles need insurance."
The Government have opened a survey to the public regarding the Motor Insurance Review. You’ve got until March 2017 to complete the online survey.
