I'm sure this would be frowned upon by the HMC&E superiors.

Why? They dont seem to be accountable to any one but the goverment who are a bunch of self serving individuals anyway.
Perhaps I should be more accurate
Is it legal for HMC&E officials buy them? Even the person that decided to sieze it in the first place?
Guy90:
We aren't allowed to buy items that have been subject to seizure action.
I don't know if it is a legal position but is is certainly in our books of guidance that we don't do it.
If you know of any vehicle using rebated fuel illegally then you should inform your nearest HMC&E office.

errrrr..... no. I dont think so. If there was any justice in your system then I would, just as I would with a real crime*.
* "Real Crime" being defined as an action that is dealt with by the judicial system not by non accountable tax collectors.
strapping young lad:
dont know if this has been mentioned in this thread already but farmers will incure the same penalty if they drive their tractors on the road for more than is necessary,
driving from farm to field is fine but when it comes to contracting, its a grey area, but i think the police leave them alone
however those who drive stuff like fastracs which do fast road work they might clamp down on those.
i recall someone who drove from where i grew up to leicester to pick up a muck spreader.....
dont ask
btw where i grew up is 10 mins from fishguard in pembrokeshire!
