Laid-Up Vehicles Will Require Insurance by Law

CHESHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Jan. 26, 2011) - Within months the Government is to introduce new powers in its ongoing fight to tackle uninsured driving. The new legislation will make it an offense, not only to drive an uninsured vehicle, but also to own one. This means that vehicles which are laid-up and never driven on the roads will be required to carry insurance..... ......

Hi -

The requirement to insure laid-up vehicles is interesting. I follow this type of proposed and enacted legislation to watch for developments in my own state.

My question- Are they talking about requiring insurance on vehicles which are still registered but are not being driven? Or are they including an insurance requirement on vehicles which are neither registered nor on the road?

My particular interest stems from recent attempts to get rid of antique cars by various junk yard and unregistered motor vehicle rules.

Cheers Phil
