I am due to pick up a car that I have bought tomorrow that is currently declared SORN by the current registered keeper. I asked him to tax it for me but as he no longer has it insured that isn't an option.
I will have it insured but won't get the insurance documents until early next week. I need to drive it back from Surrey to Leeds. I reckon if I get stopped the worst that could result is being made to pay back tax. Surely the circumstances are genuine enough that they wouldn't clamp me on the M1
These SORN things along with other silly rules for VIC checks and number plate purchases have no effect on the criminals but just make life more awkward for the masses.
