You may recall in recent times that, following a personal injury accident on private land , (I believe it involved a tractor seriously injuring someone) the most wonderful EU (courtesy of the most wonderful European Court of Justice ruling in 2014) introduced the EU Motor Insurance Directive (Vnuk).
This required compulsory unlimited third-party liability insurance to be used by anyone using ANY form of motorised transport, in ANY location.
Thus, ANY of our SORN, projects, museum or motorsport vehicles (electric scooters/bikes etc?) had to have the requisite insurance. Can you imagine the cost to the owners and (presumably) the amount of work required by the DVLA and enforcement agencies?
Another piece of idiotic bureaucracy? After all,there must be gazillions of such "off road" accidents each year/day to warrant this legislation. Sledgehammer/nut springs to mind.
HOWEVER, one good reason for Brexit means that the UK government has decided that this ruling will no longer apply.... HURRAH! (I bet Andrew EVE was pooping himself LOL!)
