Anyone who doesnt keep there vehicle on the road and doesnt fill out there
SORN thing will be recieving a letter through the post about now,

someone in work sent the Sorn off last year <august> and thought nothing
more of it, today he recieved a summons for not telling them about it, even
though he definatly did, and its on a moped lol that sits in his garage and
doesnt even go.

So even if you got a moped etc make sure you SORN it, or make sure they
recieve you SORN through the post, cus apparently you dont get no
conformation saying you have sent it.

The poor guy is worried now, so we are writing him a letter to DVLA
explaining what has happened.

recorded delivery, for the sake of a few extra pennies it just seems like
common sense.
Who knows, if a few million people do the same thing it might make their
life that bit more difficult if someone has to sign for every piece of
correspondence they receive :0)

Yes, when I posted mine in to the DVLA for our kit car I did not get an
acknowledgement or receipt and ended up phoning them to confirm. This year
I took it to the post office where they scanned the bar code on the tax
reminder then issued a printed receipt. Two weeks later I had a letter from
the DVLA confirming the cars status.

yeah i got the bullshit through the post which had 'DVLA road tax' on it

gave a load of crap about SORN but it doesn't say anywhere what sorn
actually stands for? anyone know?

anyway guess i better pay my £165! fucking notes for them to do anything but
fix the fucking roads....

What does it matter ?

Statutory Off Road Notification.

What has Vehicle Excise got to do with fixing roads ?
It's a tax, not a payment for a service.

Surely not getting no confirmation means that you *do* get a
confirmation

Anyway, you should do. I got one when I SORNed the Rover.

It was always Road Fund Licence until they decided to change the name, and
should be used for that purporse, You will find alot does go on roads, and
some councils still refer to RFL.

That's a ridiculous suggestion.

If 100% of your Road Tax was used for roads (instead of the current 10%)
then the NHS/Police/Education/Everyone would suddenly have a HUGE shortfall.
Your other taxes would have to go up plenty, to cover the billions of pounds
that you've just removed from the system !
