So if you’re not aware of the recent changes in the law regarding car insurance, take a look at some of our posts, we’ve been discussing it for a few months.

The idea behind this law is to catch reckless uninsured drivers but there are other groups of motorists who need to beware. If you own a vintage or classic car, perhaps something that you don’t use that often, a car that sits in a garage for most of the year and gets the odd spin out in the summer – then you need to be acting now to avoid the fine that may be coming your way.

In the past you were able to take out a short policy to cover the days that you were using classic cars and simply garage them for the rest of the time. Not so now. The law now requires you to either have insurance for your classic car or to declare it off road while it’s not being used. It’s a major change that might catch some classic car owners unaware and leave them facing a hefty fine.

What to do? Well, first thing to do is to familiarise yourself with the new rules then speak to a broker who specialises in classic and prestige car insurance,

The law is designed to remove the dangerous 30 year old fiestas and Micras from the streets of Britain but it might catch the odd E-Type too so make sure you’re insured or declared off-road.
