This explains why i got fined by those lovely people at the DVLA then
When i got my donor it had a couple of days tax left and the owner said he would declare sorn for me, so i drove away with my donor happy as larry
Sometime later recieved a fine in the post, rang them up and they said it wasnt sorned and i was liable as i was the registered keeper, i tried to explain the situation and the fact the car was now a pile of bits but they didnt care and i had to cough up
I paid straight away so they halved the fine, nice of them eh, t*@ts!
Good job my wife stopped me going around to the previous owners house to make him pay it, he assured me he would sorn it right away and in light of this i guess he did! i was ready to pay him a visit, good job the red mist faded before i got to my car
