flag UK drivers face fines up to £2,500 for driving a vehicle with expired tax unless properly declared off-road.

flag UK drivers are reminded to properly tax their vehicles, especially after periods of inactivity. flag If a car’s tax expires without renewal, a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) is automatically applied, making it illegal to drive on public roads except for pre-arranged MOT or testing appointments. flag Driving a SORN-registered vehicle otherwise can lead to fines up to £2,500 or five times the unpaid tax. flag To return the vehicle to the road, owners must re-tax it online using documents like a V5C log book or tax reminder, and failure to do so may result in penalties or court action. flag The DVLA stresses that vehicles must be taxed before use to avoid legal consequences.
