EU Legislation - Vnuk Insurance

Post by Big Daddy »

Britain will remain in EU until at least 2019, so this new insurance requirement could become valid here. Need to insure SORN'd vehicles could sound the death knell for many A30s/A35s awaiting restoration :evil:

‘Vnuk’ is a European Court judgement given in September 2014. The Vnuk judgement affects all vehicles which are not currently required to have third party insurance. This includes everything from electric bicycles, golf buggies, quad bikes and ride-on lawn mowers, through to forklift trucks, agricultural machines and construction plant. Even static vehicles in museums and SORN’d vehicles would be affected.

And all because some farmhand got knocked off a ladder by a trailer on a farm in France .. talk about sledge-hammer to crack a nut! Expect a double digit increase on your premiums then ..

Feels like a parting gesture from our friends in the EU... :roll:

I've written to my MP and signed both petitions - others may wish to do likewise... :thumbs:
