Nice one - confirmed UNINSURED

I had something similar in the parking space right outside my house. A two seater sports car, full of crap, that didn't move for about eight months. Big dent in the side and with two flat tyres but taxed and with a residents permit annoyingly. Couldn't do much but tick off the days before the tax and permit ran out.
It's not just the taking up of a precious parking space, it's amazing how territorial we are as human beings.

Doesn't the ORN in SORN stand for off road notification? It's clearly on the road so they should grab it??
Beware - that web site is only intended for checking your OWN insurance. In theory, you have to pay to check third-party cars. Data protection, etc.
Obviously they either haven't declared it SORN, or the computers haven't been updated.
My guess is the former as it's not offroad.

A friend of mine just gave me his car to sell to someone I know, it's sat on the road atm ready to be picked up on Sunday, it's taxed until the end of the month but my mate has another car now so I don't think it's insured? Surely if it's taxed it can be kept on the road? Insurance only matters if caught driving?

If it has a broken window that makes it a safety risk for kids, therefore the council should do something.

Surely you would know if your own car was insured, why would you need a website to check that

Quite astonishing update for you
So I spoke to the police last night following confirmation it was uninsured and without MOT, reporting as a crime.
Anyway I get a call from a PCSO several hours later - he's been out to check the vehicle.....
He feels it's secure enough despite the missing rear window, but the amazing thing is apparently he said it doesn't need to be insured as my road and the surrounding ones are not a public highway.
After I asked can I therefore drive a car around without it being insured or taxed and HE SAID YES.
Unbelievable - the guy was adement.
Not sure what to do from here but this is just crazy isn't it?! Never heard of that in my life

Broken window = easy. Get in it & roll it from your private road onto the public highway. Leave it there. Job done
Correct answer

I don't know for sure but is that not vehicle theft ?
