Description

A lot of drivers think that if their car is just sitting on the driveway, nothing really matters. But since Continuous Insurance Enforcement came in during 2011, every vehicle must either be insured or officially declared SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification). That includes project cars, cars in storage, or vehicles you simply haven’t been driving. If it isn’t insured and you haven’t declared it SORN with the government, you can still face penalties even if the car never leaves your drive. It’s a rule many drivers only find out about after getting a letter in the post. Before you cancel your insurance or leave a car sitting unused, make sure you know the rule. If you drive in the UK, this video’s for you. George’s Car Media (GCM) is about making sense of driving law, car mods, insurance, and road safety without the waffle. We work closely with police officers and road safety partners to explain what’s legal, what isn’t, how enforcement actually works, and what really happens when drivers get caught out. Some videos are filmed on the roadside, some are explained step by step, others are real conversations about mistakes people make every day. The goal’s always the same. Clear info, no scare tactics, and no killing car culture in the process. If this video helps you avoid points, fines, losing your licence, or just one bad decision, then it’s done its job.
