Untaxed vehicle clamping?

What always annoys me is how easy some seem to find it to slip through the net and get away without paying anything. I thought with everything computerised the DVLA would be able to spot untaxed/uninsured vehicles rapidly, and then investigate.
Insurance companies do not help though. For many 17 year olds the fine for driving without insurance would be less than the insurance premium, which is something of a kick in the teeth to those who do it right.
Might also be worth reporting the "earful" (which I'd class as threatening behaviour). That and untaxed vehicles may well point to individuals of whom the Police are well aware!

The police now have the powers to take the cars off the road, so if its not taxed, mot'd or insured then they will have it lifted there and then!
And so they should.
My 110 is sorn'd currently on the drive, its still insured as well!

A few years my car got hit by some one who's car was'nt taxed because they could'nt afford it.
What a nite mare my car sat on my drive for nearly a year until it was sorted because the insurance would not pay and i lost my no claims.

talk to your local council (enviromental section) and police they both have the power to clamp and remove the vehicle, the same day, and as the clamp and stickers have been tampered with the person has commited an offence of criminal damage
im sure LSP will be along sortly to give you some police advice

I was realy strugling this time for my car tax mony and went a little over a week untaxed, some times you just cant help it when mony is tight. fair play to anyone who can get away with it for a while. who knows why the car is there maybe there is a complication in seling it or moving it

If the owner had not already proved to be unsocial to the rest of the neighbours I would probably of turned a blind eye as long as it wasn't actually being driven. Also she has a perfectly good drive to park it on but chooses to leave it on the road in such a way that she manages to take up nearly 3 spaces with it.
Another neighbour reported a car today that had been parked up for nearly a fortnight and no one knew who it belongs to. Turns out it was stolen and the police came and removed it within a couple of hours. This seems to of got the attention of a few people and surprisingly there are a lot of spaces out there right now :twisted:. Those lucky enough to have drives are using them and those who's boy racer sons park their pimped out fiats here because it is a nicer neighbourhood than his own (doesn't even live in the bloody village) have left the area ;)
I give it a week at best :roll:

Then you shouldnt be on the road, and sorn the truck.
If you can't afford to drive a car, don't drive. Period.
