My son has an old banger sitting on the driveway. He wants to insure

There'd be a cancellation charge, but it's cheaper than a temporary
policy.

Any thoughts? Will they blacklist him?


Just a thought for the OP: I've been told by two insurance companies that
there is now a legal requirement for a vehicle to be insured even if it's
parked on your own property and doesn't move from one year's end to the
next. If you don't want to insure it, the only alternative is to SORN it
(Statutory Off Road Notification).
Of course, whether anyone ever checks on these things, I've no idea.


no *one* checks, but a computer does

fines are automatically sent out for cars without insurance that are not
SORN
