You can SORN it when your car leaves UK and get road tax a few days before you get back. If you look at earlier posts you can see that you don't even need to tax it before you return if you are taking it for a pre booked MOT test.When I used to drive vehicles across to Asia we always cashed in the UK road tax on leaving and bought it again when we came back.
If you do not tax the car and do not SORN it then you will automatically be issued with a fine. It is not a criminal offence but a civil one and you would receive a CCJ if you did not defend it. There are millions of CCJs unpaid for this offence in UK.In my own experience DVLA will not pursue the fine if you explain that the vehicle is out of the country but easier to just declare SORN.SORN is a specifically UK thing and meaningless elsewhere. There is no reason not to declare it and it will save you money but, as you say, you should retax the car before you return to UK.I am sure some will have bizarre interpretations of the law and will tell you you are risking ending your days in Brixton Prison.Your decision.
UK is no better than Italy in this respect and do not insure foreign reg. vehicles. This is mainly due to a lack of legal control by the respective governments which should force insurance companies to comply with EU directives but don't.In many other EU countries you can get insurance and in theory it is pending your reregistration but in France I have seen this done yearly over a decade with one vehicle.If you purchase vehicle insurance in any EU country that insurance is valid throughout the EU for legal liability purposes and unless cancelled in writing and proven to have been received is valid and you are covered. Having no MOT or road tax does not matter outside UK anyway.Having an accident in Italy with a non roadworthy vehicle will cause you grief for that but you will not be charged with not having insurance.
Neighbour disputes need to be settled between the parties.Getting a bit of advice is one thing. Letters and conflict will never result in a good resolution.
TYCO is a private Swiss company which provides security. Their cameras do not link to any government database. The Dover Port police do not and do not want to link to any DVLA database as they have enoough work already without doing petty work for DVLA.Kent police could put ANPR cameras at the port exit but they don't as they also have more important things to concentrate on. Dorset police do seem to have cameras in the areas of the town but all that could happen is you would receive a postal demand from DVLA and you would just show proof of your entry into the UK. You will not receive anything if you actually pay the road tax in the meantime.As said, if you have booked your test you are fine
Some clarification.The rules state that it must be a pre booked test. All garages know this and make note of the registration in the book. It is quite normal for police to phone the garage to confirm a booking.There is no rule that says the test has to be in any particular place and no police officer has the authority to say that your chosen garage is not acceptable as long as it is in UK. To suggest that stopping for a meal or similar en route to the garage is an offence is like something from Monty Python.There are no ANPR cameras at the ports.
To clarify.Your UK insurance is valid and you are legally covered in all of Europe.The additional risks beyond basic legal liability can and usually are not covered if the insurance company can find any way to refuse a claim. This could be out of date MOT, extra fitted spotlights, chassis lowered, wrong exhaust pipe etc.Most UK vehicles only have liability cover when in Europe anyway.When you return to UK you must book a MOT test for that day. It can be anywhere in UK and you can drive to and from the test centre on that day without a road tax disc and an out of date MOT.

Thanks but I have my car with me and don't want even more costs.
