Hi all!
I am in the middle of an epic VT story, and once it is concluded I will share all the details for others benefit/ entertainment.
There is too much to detail here now, but in a nutshell: the car was due its first MOT on the 6 November. I VT’ed on the 20th October. Skipping a lot, they didn’t process it until the 11th. The car now has no MOT and I SORNed it before recently just transferring the V5/C to them from the 20.10.20. I have told them it’s going on the public highway if it’s not gone by the 7th.
Q1. I live in a cul-de-sac and there isn’t really anywhere to park it that isn’t in front of someone’s house (I.e where they park) or obstructing the turning circle and/or access and egress from driveways. I wanted to drive it as short a distance as possible just so it is off my property, but don’t want to inconvenience my neighbours - especially the sweet elderly couple next door. My cul-de-sac is parallel to the road it joins (think a capital ‘J’). Is driving it round to the rear of my property on the main road and parking it there too far to move it? It’s basically the closest safe place.
Q2. Is there any potential backlash fro driving an un-MOT’ed, un taxed vehicle, even if just for 60m? My insurance covers me 3rd party for other vehicles but I’m certain that wouldn’t apply to a car untaxed etc. But
its on my property without my consent. Initially I planned on exercising my rights under the Tort Interference With Goods Act 1977 and giving it to an auctioneer but can’t be bothered with the hassle of that.
All advice welcomed and appreciated!
