Did you know they are new laws out to tackle uninsured driving.

The DVLA will compare its records of taxed vehicles with those on the Motor Insurance Database which records all insured vehicles.

Recent changes this year in the law now make it compulsory for all motorists in Great Britain to insure their vehicle unless it has formally been declared off-road.

Everyone must soon get insurance now if they use their car, van or motorbike but this will be extended to all vehicles that are taxed, even if you don’t use it.

What is more important that this new rule also effects motor caravans that you may only use seasonally and insure for 6 months of the year.

If you are caught without insurance you can be fined in excess of £1,000 and your vehicle could be destroyed.

You can only escape the compulsory insurance requirement if you declare your vehicle as officially off-road. You must fill out a Statutory Off Road Notification form. You can find out more information at Direct.gov website.

The new law will applies in England, Scotland and Wales but not in Northern Ireland.
