sccsux Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Why do you have cars you use and yet do not have insurance for? Oh dear:shakes:: http://www.dayinsure.com/ is one option. They are covered against fire and theft but not agaisnt third party losses. For a holiday or a car show I call up the insurers and ask for a weeks cover and there you go - cost is minimal and it's easy - or it was till this rather asinine law cam in.

Does it really save you money? I have a bus which I insure all year for £120 and a sports car for which I pay £106 both of which are taxed as "classics" and insured fully comp.

Obelix Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Because if they get used on the road and are un-insured, it is illegal. Why do you have cars you use and yet do not have insurance for? Where did I say that I use them uninsured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barleycorn Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 No there doesn't. I can drive any car I don't own, ie one lent to me or one I'm thinking of buying on my current policy. No, you can't. Road Safety Act 2006 section 22 jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's £31 for both for a year for off road - £5 admin and then about £25 for a fortnights cover during the summer which wasn't bad. What bus have you as a matter of interest?

Obelix Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 No, you can't. Road Safety Act 2006 section 22 jb Yes I can. That relates to keeping - not using a vehicle. Edit: Also, you see the "Prospective" tag up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Bristol SC Umm I think I know that one - fairly short with a single door towards the front? One of my old school masters used to run some AEC Regents and a Leyland Olympian but I never was really that into them. Was fun trying to learn a crashbox though :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truman Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 It doesn't make sense. Say you have a sports or classic car you only use in the summer, so you keep it SORN during the winter months, but you'd still want it insured against fire or theft even if it's not going on the road. Does declaring SORN exclude you from insuring it? Can't you buy "lay up" insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
