    You must have continuous motor insurance. The only exception is if you've made a statutory off road notification. sorn.
    I suggest a grovelling letter to DVLA giving your excuses asking them to drop the charge. Nobody has been put at risk.
    Immediately apply for a sorn to show you have learnt your lesson. Good luck.
    Perhaps use the Johnson defence ?

      That sounds like a sensible approach. Maybe get proof from the storage people to show that's where it has been for the last 2 years. Send that with the letter.

        All good advice I am sure & especially the "excuses". Had you received any previous letter from DVLA ?

          If you haven't, you could add that too, no previous communications from them.
