V.Rossi Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Ok here goes, the road fund licence on my car expires in just over a week. I've recently lost my job so cannot afford to renew, problem I have is that I don't have a driveway or a garage where I can store my car, also the DVLA are frequent vistors to my estate, removing vehicles etc.... I know that without a valid tax disc displayed my car is prone to dissapearing on the back of flatbed, but is there a way I can keep it on the road / car park without a valid disc, I know about SORN but not sure if this covers it as SORN actually describing what the car isn't....'OFF ROAD' Any help appreciated.

fluffystuff Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Your car would need to be kept "off road" if it is untaxed/SORN, other wise it will get towed away at some point. Do you know anyone who has a driveway you could use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Six Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Is the car park part of the highway? It might count as 'off-road'? Otherwise I think you might need to ask a mate with a drive for a favour - or maybe if you live near any businesses with a yard you could keep your car there for a few quid?

hard2miss Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Take the wheels off ? I heard that with no wheels it is not classed as a road vehicle and not subject to tax (although they will probably put some sort of obstruction notice to get round it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northrend Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Yes but they are only assessed as roadworthy on the day of the test. And what about all these new cars you see with dents and bits in? They are not roadworthy but do not need an MOT for 3 years. If a car is on the road and has no tax it's in clear violation of the RTA and I hope an ANPR patrol gets it and it gets crushed.
