Sorn

[contail]

just tried to sorn my bike on line using my reminder. followed the instructions. step 1.if your using the v11 reminder, you need to enter the 16 didit ref number thats in the yellow box. well mine just says for official use only. has any body else tried doing this online.

oh great. cant even go on the bike. i might leave it as the bike will be on the road with in the next 7 days hopefully.
cheers any way

it hasn't got the number on the reminder. I had the same trouble.
Use your logbook instead - much easier!

I contacted DVLA about this and lo and behold, they haven't answered!!! :(

You can do it online without the reminder in the yellow box but you need a reference number off your registration document.

The SORN DVLA site is a sod to navigate but I've managed a couple of times so far.

use the ref number on the log book it's on the front of the new style one's.

i've sorn loads on line just remember to print it out just in case there's a problem later.

Taxed a bike online for the 1st time last month. Was a bit paranoid after MOTing my bike which had been off the road well over a year on a Saturday afternoon with a copper in the garage. If he'd have thought about it, he'd have realised there was no way I was getting taxed so went home and did it online. Guess they could have done me for not displaying but lease I was taxed.

Had the same prob with the reminder tho - no number. What a shocker! New DVLA system with a glitch :rolleyes:

Hi Minxy, you can legally ride your bike to and from the mot without it being taxed, (how long you leave it afterwards depends on how lucky you feel :D )

im taxing it next thursday. so i think i'll just leave it as it is. wouldnt want to confuse them

Guess they could have done me for not displaying but at least I was taxed.
:rolleyes:

I think you may be able to argue that one now. When I retaxed my bike at the post office they didn't want my documents because it is all listed on computer, and the police have the same details. So they know if you have registration, tax, MOT, and insurance. If they pull you it has to be for a driving offence or they will be wasting the courts time. also unlike a car, your tax disk will be displayed out in the open, You know 'Watch out there's a thief about' dont leave it on show, 'Crime together we can crack it' all these police adverts say don't display it! :cool: John
