WARNING . . . WARNING . . . SORN DECLARATIONS!!!!!!!!

I've just been hit with a Â£40 fine from the DVLA - AND ITS MY OWN FAULT!!!

I got home from work today to find this letter saying I face a penalty, for not declaring one of my cars SORN.

Fact is, I bought my Jetta Syncro off Mr Big last September and he offered to tax it for me. Like a twat I said no cos I won't be driving it straight away, so he knocked Â£60 off the price and sorned it - nice bloke!

When I phoned up the DVLA to complain that I hadn't had a reminder, and that the car was sorned by the previous owner anyway, I was told that the sorn becomes invalid when the car is sold. So it was only sorned for 2 days!

SO BE WARNED - WHEN YOU BUY A CAR WITH NO TAX, YOU MUST RE-SORN IT!!!!!

Bollocks got a golf in the garage that was sorned before so didn't bother.

In 2 minds what to do now as it should be ready for an MOT in about a week, not really worth sending all the crap off for the sake of a week is it???

Anybody know what form I need to fill in when I get a MOT for it so I can get tax.
