Does anyone 'in the know' have any idea, do the anpr cameras register current MOT availability as well as Tax or is it just tax disc?
-
From what I've heard in the public domain,
MOT, insurance, Tax, the lot. I am pretty sure they can also flag up any markers on the vehicle - maybe Force specific.
-
Ps this will get moved to Gen chat ;)
-
ANPRS is a comprehensive check, ie; MOT (date expires) Insurance (expiry date) and tax. Can also flag up any other 'problems' with the vehicle, such as stolen, used for 'other' purposes, and, aparently, for unpaid fines from motoring/traffic offences.
Know this, as brother in law is a traffic cop!! >:( >:(
(NOT because I've committed all these crimes.) ;D ;D ;D
-
Its all mate,
I worked on the project that integrated all major insurers into the MID database and had to work with the police on ANPR integration :(
-
They check the whole lot. Police cars that have have ANPR also check for flaged vehicles, stolen etc. Dunno if the roadside one report that sort of info thou.
With the technology the way it's going it probenly will, and maybe relay it to local cop cars.
-
everything....
MOT/Tax they also check if the car is wanted for any offences.
Also checks the registered owner, ie "Joe Bloggs" is registered on the log book, if Joe had done an armed robbery it would also flag...
Basically if you have been naughty in any way, it will nab you!
-
it AAAAALL comes up on a database, this is how you're allowed to tax your car online now, because it can electronically check for insurance and MOT

cant stand that kwap show....let me loose with a sub machine gun in there i`ll liven it up a bit.... :D :D :D :D
-
Thanks guys, i just wondered... I knew you could renew online just didn't know if the database was available in its entirety to the roadside traffic cops...
Strange how you don't get a reminder for your MOT like you do for your road tax and insurance... Maybe they'll fix that soon...
-
I think its a good idea, makes it harder for the illegal motorist, you know, the ones that crash into you and then clear off >:(

I agree, there are no worries for legal motorists, and it makes taxing the car a doddle. ;D

I`m a wee bit concerned with this.
Took the Jeep alst week to its booked in MOT. On the way their there was a police van with something like "mobile cctv monitoring" on it.
Guess i could be awaiting a letter re no tax and MOT. It is fully comp insured and i know i am covered as i was travelling to MOT.
Still.... :-/
-
If the MOT was pre-booked you are covered.

Markie... as long as it was pre-booked your fine.
It is legal to drive a car without a MOT as long as your going to the MOT tester and its booked in!

I know mate, still not looking forward to (potentially) getting a nasty letter then going through the process of having to prove where i was going. I even have the fail sheet for the same day ;D ;D

Even if it has long since expired?? eg. if I bought a car with no mot for say 3 yrs then needed to drive it to test centre, that would be ok??
Useful info that!! :y

I have driven a completely unregistered vehicle that I'd just bolted together in my garage to an MOT perfectly legally.
You still have to comply with the construction and use regs, so could get into trouble if the car is not roadworthy.

^^ what Kevin said...
not sure how far the law can be bent, ie if you live in London and booked the car in for a MOT in Glasgow :-/ ;D
-
You cant do that i'm afraid...its local pre-booked test and/or pre-booked repairs

Got to be locally and will allways be down to the officers discrection if he thought you were taking the micky.

ANPR is right pain if you travel long distances. I've been stopped 3 times by check points in the last 6 months not because my details are out of date or I've been doing anything illegal (;))but the fact that I've been driving in Scotland to or from work!!!! I mean how dare I use my car for travelling long distances!!!! No offence but some Jock Traffic Police Officers are *%£~#'sssss [smiley=angry.gif]

what a communism world iam living in :o

True, about the MOT but the car has to be taxed. I was told by local dvla office that I could not take my Mig for MOT cos it was SORN.

.. But you can't tax the rather thing unless it's got an MOT.
Then again, DVLA offices make the rules up to suit themselves, IMHO.

I was just going to take the chance, rural life, but discovered that I still had a few days MOT so taxed the car then took it for work / MOT. :y
