New Road Tax Laws

[Parson]

Anyone bought a bike privately since they came in?

I know the previous owner has to cancel his before you can arrange yours, and you need to arrange yours before taking the bike on the road.

How does it all work then. Are you best taking a ipad to access the internet, does the phone line work OK?

I bought another bike last week. Once I'd paid the great rip off Insurance admin fee over the phone for changing bikes, I waited till I got home and done it online. I know that the person I bought mine from was both taxed and insured so couldn't comment to one that was sorn'd and not showing as been insured.

Come to think of it does the Government site to tax the vehicle still check for car insurance?

Really clued up owners will suspend their insurance and then apply it to their next vehicle, so that they don't compromise their NCD or fall foul of MIB insurance rules should the vehicle they sold be involved in an uninsured loss event.

Cancel, suspend, transfer, either way if you get to the end of the road with the previous keeper's policy still in place, they're a mug.

Sadly, AskMID still shows my old vehicle as insured (policy transferred off it yesterday) and https://www.gov.uk/get-vehicle-information-from-dvla shows the previous VED expiry date on my new one, even though I VEDed it immediately.

Probably waiting on the wee man who knows how to work the punch-card machine on Monday.

I work away for months at a time, I've been trying to tax and sorn on and off as needed (monthly DDs) so that I only have to pay tax when I used it, so far I've sorned a week before the payment was due and they still took it :S.

Anyone had any luck doing this?

Better in our pockets than those tunnel gnomes in Swansea.

Bear in mind that bought VED runs from the 1st of the instant month, but sold VED is only refunded from the 1st of next month.
