As of 20th June 2011, Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE) will become law in the UK, making it illegal to own a vehicle without it being insured (unless it’s registered as off the road with the DVLA), SORN.
This law targets those people who drive without insurance. It is estimated that uninsured drivers add around £30 to the average insurance policy.
The biggest groups affected by this rule change are those with classic cars or motorbikes, who are likely to only insure them for the summer months, then store the vehicle for the winter. However, this could also affect those with campervans.
My advice is to have insurance for 12 months of the year, to cover the vehicle when stored also.
