Should I grass on my neighbour?
Lostboy:
My neighbour is from Germany. He has imported his car (a Renault Kangoo) and is is using that as his everyday transport.
It appears that you are only allowed six months in twelve before you have to have a UK registration, UK tax, MOT certificate and insurance from a UK company. He is still using it on German plates with no tax disk and still has the headlights set-up for driving on the right hand side of the road. This has been the case for twelve months now.
I'm stuck in two frames of mind now, he is tax dodging while we all faithfully pay ours, his vehicle is untracable in the event of an incident, he is disregarding the safety of on-coming motorists by dassling them with his headlights, and would a UK insurance firm cover a foreign registered car, so has he even got insurance?
Althernatively, am I just being to a**l rentive about the whole thing?
Horness:
Casually remind him that "your mate in the DVLA" passed comment last time he was round for coffee.
He may genuinely not be aware of all the facts.
gecko:
think as above dont grass him in just remind him ask your self if you was in his place and you didnt know what was going on .
and some one grassed you up what would you think but if some one told you that you have to sort it out well nuff sead end of the day its up to you
Hightower:
I want to say 'No, give the guy a break', but if it was my car he hit, or child he ran over, I would be most upset (huge understatement).
As suggested, give him a gentle nudge. It may be a mistake or misunderstanding on his part.
davidlandy:
is he a good bloke?
yes - give him some time
no - grass him up
