Road Tax Laws

To legally use a vehicle on the road, you have to clearly display a valid excise licence tax disc on the corner of the windscreen at all times.

The only exemption for this covers the first five working days of the month to allow for the new tax disc being posted to the driver.

If you are found to be driving without road tax, possible penalties include:

• Minimum £1,000 fine
• Vehicle clamped, impounded or crushed

SORN Laws

A Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN) should be made if you intend to keep the car off road and not drive it. Without it, you could face the same penalties as those imposed for driving with no tax. What's more, the car does not have to be on the road for the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) to know you have committed an offence.
