Untaxed vehicles on the road?

Question

does the hotline for reporting untaxed vehicles to the dvla really work ? it does not seem to where i live.

Answer 1

I agree with some of the people on here.. haven't you got anything better to do with your time than get other people in trouble?? Does it please you to make others' lives a misery?

Believe it or not, not all of us are able to easily afford taxing/MoTing our cars every year.. I've got my tax due at the end of the month and I have no idea how I'm gonna do it (what with finding money for everything else)... last thing I need is people like you snooping about

Answer 2

troll

Answer 3

I would like to think it does. In my opinion any untaxed vehicles should have a £2000 fine placed on it with a week to pay before the car is crushed.

If your not taxed your are not insured. The insurance will not pay out.

Answer 4

Give them a break.

Answer 5

It's about time the dvla took action instead of spending our roadtax on oh so scary adverts.

If they crushed a few cars that would be a good start, and they should also include non insurred and non mot cars.

We all have to pay our taxes, begrudgingly I pay mine, so those who don't pay their taxes should be hit hard.

These are the people keeping car insurance and car tax up.

Take their car, crush it, bill them and make them work community service miles away so they have to walk there.

The police are just as usless, they are the ones breaking the law the most often, from not indicating when pulling out of a junction to using their phone or radio when driving, a bunch of hipocrites.

It's about time that the govenment was removed and replaced by a vegetable rack stuffed full of cabages, at least then something would get done in this country.

Answer 6

To all those people saying "Dont report it", please....dont even go there.

As some people have said, no tax generally means no insurance.

I for one don;t want to be crashed into by an uninsured driver again, therefore, anyone I see untaxed gets reported. Simple

Answer 7

Call and report it, I would because it is unsafe and it will cost us in the long run, the ones that do pay.................................

Answer 8

Driving around in an untaxed vehicle is a very serious offence and the police need all the help they can get from the local communities.

After all, your paying their wages and it seems right to get those lazy bigotted police to actually do some real work eh? Stuff real police work lets get them to concentrate their total efforts on tax cheats. Should keep some nosey people happy.... For the rest of ther population we shall just have to get a crime number as the police are far too busy chasing tax dodgers.

Why can't some people get a life instead of upsetting everyone else to make up for their inadequate and boring lives.

Answer 9

If we all have to pay, so should they!

If the car isn`t taxed, it isn`t insured and probably not MOT`d. Use the DVLA web site to report the vehicle, giving the exact location it can be found during the day and keep reporting it if you get no action after a few weeks

Answer 10

I'd report it, sadly people think it's OK to ignore the basic requirements of keeping a vehicle on the road. And you know that they'll be using it.

It's time people realised that have and using a car is not a right, I appreciate it's government figures so are probably manipulated but they state that greater than 65% of untaxed cars are not insured and are not roadworthy, so by reporting the car you could indirectly save a life even if it's only the driver of the untaxed car.

Answer 11

Contact the police and ask them who you report it to.  I just hope you have considered carefully why you want to report it though.  The person concerned may be suffering great hardship already.  Unless the car is creating some kind of obstruction for you, it might not be the nicest thing to do?
