Is anyone else considering taking their car off the road until the dreaded Coronavirus situation settles down?

Given I’m paying £50 a month, I think it’s worth considering. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

maybe, but if your partner breaks a leg [for instance] you aint going to get your laptop etc out to re tax before you go to the hospital..

thats an example and it probably will never happen but 'sods law' it might..



i'm in a lower tax bracket of £260 a year so i'm bias..  ... - .- -.

Too many cars costing money at the moment.

Currently have at home

1 x L405
1 x D4
1 x BMW M3
1 x Fiat 500x
1 x Renault Master
1 x Toyota Hilux.

All T & T

All insured.

It’s weird went to pick up some diesel for the digger earlier (doing my garden not working) and there was NO ONE on the road.

I could Sorn them all, just keep the ......... D4 going. It’s the Swiss arm knife of cars. If there is one out of the pile I would keep running at the mo, that would be it. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Yep, just joined the SORN club now too. Tax too expensive having it sat there in the driveway doing sod all for the next few months. 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)

CBA'd to save a few quid a month. And I'd probably forget to retax it when the lockdown is over

Would the insurers want it taxed?

.. Cheers, Greg

good point...if it gets stolen from your driveway and its sorn'd, is it still insured.. ... - .- -.

About to check with insurers. However in my case it's at the top end of the driveway behind two other cars and the ignition is disabled via the tracker, so unless they get a transporter up my driveway and past two other cars, theft ain't happening.

Still could be set fire to I suppose. 09 RR Westminster 3.6TDV8 - Stornoway Grey / Black interior - now gone (sad face)

Should be fine.

According to Admiral, you could even downgrade to Third Party, Fire & Theft -
