There is a new law that is being put into place this spring, which requires all cars to be insured unless they have been declared off the road. No exceptions! Even when your car is not in use for long periods of time, car insurance will still be needed.
The aim of this new law is to help combat the ongoing battle against uninsured drivers. It’s been heavily covered in the news lately that car insurance costs are rising at a fast pace, and uninsured drivers are one of the main reasons for this.
When this new legislation passes, your car will not only have to be taxed if it’s sitting outside on the road, but also insured. It also means that you will not be able to take your vehicle off the road for a temporary period of time and then cancel your insurance. You will only be able to do this by declaring it off the road.
The government is warning many motorists not to be caught out over the summer, as this law will cover motor caravans, motorbikes, vintage cars and other vehicles similar to these that many people only insure for part of the year.
It’s definitely worth checking your own vehicles, as a vehicle without insurance can receive a £100 fixed penalty, have their car clamped, impounded or destroyed or even face a court prosecution with a maximum penalty of £1000.
Hopefully this new law will help reward honest motorists and lower their cost in car insurance over time.
