no the first i even heard of this new act was the final notice i got today! i spoke to a manager a mrs smith (LOL), and she informed me a leflet was sent earlier this year (news to me) and a fixed penalty notice with an option to pay a smaller amount of £50 was sent 25/08/11! (again news to me) what upsets me as i had no idea or i would have simple sorn it months ago

i am new to this site, just got a fied penalty notice for failure to insure my motor bike! my bike is in my garage, i didnt renew my insurance a few months back as i simply could not afford the new high costs (gone from £400 p/y to over £2000), my tax was valid until september and to be honest didnt think about it until the reminder to re tax came and i sorn'd it. now a month later i get a fine for not sorn'ing it when the insurance ran out! surely you have to be aware of a law to not brake it and as i have not taken it out of my garage i have not done anything wrong. what can i do now? please help!!
