SupraSteve Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Declare it S.O.R.N. (same form as the tax renewal) then tax it once it passes its MoT. Job's a good un. Forgot to say, you can declare SORN online, too.

Gordon can't afford to let you get away with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that's what they told me a few months ago too. Nothing is likely to happen if you are just a few days over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaks Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I imagine its an 'unofficial' grace period during which you are unlikely to receive a fine from the DVLA. The police could still pull you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
