Changes to SORN?

[DavidLaver]

Seems like there's no need to SORN every year - see article below.  Anyone got a better source?  The other news is that the proof of insurance is via computer not paper.  I'm trying to remember when I went in last if that's also the case for the MOT now.

Well spotted David, it is surprising that more has not been made of this in the press if, as the article says, the regulations changed on 16th Dec!!!

Common sense rules.

Yes, MOT's are all online as well now. As quoted elsewhere no more tax discs from October.

You are no longer required to renew a SORN if it is due to expire, as I discovered when attempting to do so earlier today.
See box at foot of text on following page.

The MoT doesn't yet appear to be completely electronic, despite the DVLA being able to check if it is current (when taxing a vehicle on-line), as do the Police. How many of us have forgotten an MoT expiry date and only discovered it by chance? I know I have.

SORN expires on my motorcycle today. Thanks for the info in this thread, as my local post office suggested telephoning the DVLA for a SORN renewal form. I expect they new what they meant, well meaning and with the best intentions.
