beware road tax dodgers...

why warn em mani?

jambutty · 22-08-2006, 16:53

Not before time.

I cannot think of a single reason why I and all the other motorists who have valid Road Tax, MOT (if required) and insurance should pay when an estimated 1,000,000 cars on the road today do not.

Clamp ‘em! After two weeks crush ‘em!

I reckon you should be able to ring the DVLA and report the tax dodgers ,maybe claim a reward.I could name a couple very near my house!

There are usually a fair few around here too. I have renewed my road tax online at the weekend, the disc arrived today, it only took me 2 minutes and I didn't have to drag my insurance and MOT details into town..

mani · 22-08-2006, 18:03

the whole we'll crush ur car is barely true

they'll only do that after no contact with the person for 6 months or sommet

so it'll b most likely cars that are worth less than the fine

Neil · 22-08-2006, 19:39

The fine should be 10 times the amount of road tax the owner has not paid or £1000 which ever is greatest.

jackyalex · 22-08-2006, 19:43

i agree with neil you should be fined more then maybe these tax dodgers will get there usually unroad worthy cars off the roads

Same for no insurance, get an average quote from half a dozen places and the fine should be 10 x(minimum, 20x for second offence etc) that .

jackyalex · 22-08-2006, 20:10

usually people who dont have tax/insurance/mot dont have a licence to drive but it doesnt seem to stop them

in my book entwi no insurance is FAR more serious than no road tax-these people should get 6 months minimum.

Just as a point that I did mention before, we all know that we have had a large influx of Polish and lithuanian workers, most of whom seem to have brought their own cars over. I asked teh Police a while back what th elaws were regarding them. Basically after 6 months in this country the car HAS to be registered, Taxed and Insured in this country. Also after 12 months the driver has to apply for a UK driving license which may mean taking a test over here.

What worriesd me is that I see cars here that have been around far more than 6 months yet teh police don't seem to be checking any of the above actually happens, I dread to think what would happen if there was an accident where one of them was at fault.
