Over a month outa date
« on: 05 February 2010, 14:37:54 »
I walked past a Toyota Hiace today & its tax ran out in December.
I've walked by it a few times over the passed month & thought about reporting it, but then i think sod it, if they can get away with it why not. It just means less £ for the Government, what a shame ::)
What are your thoughts?

Not at all matey. It's parked on the Ind Estate near the Rail Station, i guess they catch the train into work every day.
I just wouldn't like to think that i was parking my car on the road all day for all that walk past to see :o

Ask yourself, how would you feel if he hit your car in it?

That's the crux-probably not insured and with no MOT either.

I am one who thinks if he hasn't taxed it then it's probably not insured.
I had a car written off by an uninsured driver and as far as I'm concerned they deserve to be reported!

If you feel the same then this is what you need:-www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/onlineservices/report_unlicensed.aspx?ext=dg

At least we used to use carefully shaped Guinness labels to pretend we were taxed back in the day. ;D ;D ;D

That thought had crossed my mind also. Easy to forget in our busy lives.
I may just put a note on & say you have a week or i'll make a phone call ;)
