I recently had occassion to make a claim on my insurance following a burglary when my 1992 CBR900rrn was stolen. The bike was secured in my garage,alarmed and insured fully comp. tax was valid but the MOT was expired Nov 06.
According to my insurance company i should have notified DVLA via SORN that the vehicle was off the road. As i hadnt done this they are at present declining to pay anything to compensate the theft.
I have tried to point out the error of their thought processes in that SORN only relates to vehicle excise and not MOT certification but the twats dont believe me.The supervisor even had the neck to claim it was a DVLA instruction. I bet the knob wouldnt know a motorbike if it bit them on the arse. They even suggested i was using it on the road.(not true i am after all a law abiding citizen that taxes and insures his bikes even though theyre off the road)
I am not naming the company yet as this is ongoing but its advertised in most motorcycle papers/mags and you can be assured that the issue will be shouted to anyone who will listen.
An official letter from DVLA is winging its way to them as we speak. watch this space ....it may get even more ...sorry the red mist is coming down..must hit something..take my 999 keys off me and hide me boots
