The Government is cracking down on uninsured drivers in the UK.
Tradesmen who require a van to successfully carry out their business operations must ensure that any vehicles they own are 100% road legal, including any old vehicles that are not currently being used, before getting caught out by new laws.
The new law means that it is not only an offence to be caught driving whilst uninsured, but it is also an offence to be a keeper of an uninsured vehicle.
A new law, which took effect yesterday (Monday 20th June) requires anyone with an uninsured vehicle to either insure it or declare it SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification).
The new laws can assure sincere drivers that other road users are also legal and honest.
Official Government statistics show that there are an estimated 1.4 million people driving without insurance.
