No number plate

(1/3) > >>

waveydavey:
My wife had a kid in a coupe fly past her yesterday with no front number plate. By chance he followed me through the village again today. I stopped to say something and he just got super mouthy at me.
That was his chance gone; first thing I did when I got home is call the police and report him; the plate was on the back so he's traceable. Now he has the local police looking for him on the road.

How stupid people can be; without being mouthy will probably cost him points and a fine.

mmgemini:
You did right.

I've been doing like things today.
There's a car that's been parked in our street since Saturday. No tax. Well the lable in the window says 01 01 07 So I've rung the local council enforcement team.
No tax = no insurance and most likely no MOT.

Evilgoat:
No tax = no tax end of

It REALLY hacks me off when people make this assumption, TAX means you have to have these items but it doesnt mean you dont have them. My landlords been on at me over this re my donor car and was promply shot down in flames. Un untill a few weeks ago this car was insured and MOTed but not taxed.

In your case, yes you did right as its on a public road but careful what assumptions you make.

waveydavey:
That does get a bit complex actually:
If you are insured but not taxed and taking the car for an MOT etc. then certainly no problem.
If you are 'insured' but not taxed adn driving around then in the event of a claim the insurance company could claim that they have no liability as the car was not legally on the road. Weak but I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of that.

This guy was just a scrote of a Boy Racer though; he will get what he deserves, I'm sure the police will check the documents.

They should be able to do that without seeing him, as all reg numbers on the magic poota have insurance details linked to the number, as MoT's will be within twelve months. The days of the '7 day producer' are numbered.
Mind you, it would be worth a closer check to see what his car is insured as. If it has been modified in any way, and not declared, he is in the poop!
