As well as the fines, the new powers will mean uninsured drivers could have their vehicles seized or crushed.

You missed a line...
As well as the fines, the new powers will mean uninsured drivers involved in accidents could have their testicles seized or crushed.

 :lol:

the key point is the use of the words "not being used" which I think would be fair to say means that this does not apply to anything with a SORN notice, and is, by definition "not being used"

I would imagine it is anything with an identity... since that is the only way they can track vehicles.    Long term, they want to try and get rid of all the 'phantom' vehicles about... the number plates and vin numbers in that box under the stairs, the pile of rust that was never registered as scrapped.

If you get rid of all that, it *should* make tax evasion and insurance avoidance that one little bit easier.    It means that we will all have to be a bit more vigilant about re-taxing and SORNing our vehicles... but that doesn't bother me too much if it helps towards getting rid of some of the problems.

I don't see how using ANPR will help finding uninsured drivers.  Think of the car dealer who has an "any car" policy.  Just because there is no insurance registered against a vehicle, doesn't mean that the driver isn't insured.

Would they not be displaying trade plates ?   If so, they would be easily identifiable.
