Quote:
"What happens if you do not re-license your vehicle?

The new rules mean that keepers who fail to re-license their vehicle (or declare SORN) will incur an automatic penalty of �80 (reduced to �40 if paid within 28 days). Those who ignore the penalty could receive a County Court Judgement against them, could be stopped by the police, and/or have their vehicles clamped. Determined offenders will be faced with prosecution and could be fined a minimum �1000.

DVLA carries out a computer check each month to identify those vehicles without a valid tax disc. Although the new rules mean that it is no longer necessary for the vehicle to be seen on a public road before a penalty is issued current on-road enforcement will continue."

What reason is there for not having road tax?

[fiesata]

would the insurance really be invalid?

if you had an accident in an untaxed car do you think your insurers would gladly pay out? i think not, they would quote that your vehicle should not have been on a public road.
