So my neighbour has a wierd friend. This guy is eccentric but quite rich.

For example he drives a 1998? BMW Z3. Turquoise. Worth around £3k. He bought it off the neighbour and ran it around on the neighbours own private plate for a good year before finally putting it on his own. This was 4 years ago.

But his personalised plate, one of many he has is worth around £70k.

Anyway, for another reason I did a check on that plate and he hasn't taxed or MOT'd the car it is on for 3 years.

Now should I report him for this? Because it is likely he is uninsured. Should I feel guilty if he killed a child or something? I don't know how karmic reporting him would be. And is it really anonymous? he is a "gentleman of stature" I guess that is the closest way of putting him in our local community.

Thanks

I would mind your own business. If he hit a kid then insurance isnt going to make any difference. If your estimates of his wealth are true then if he hits another car then civil courts will have absolutely no problem extracting money from him

The online regi check is intended for use on your OWN vehicle and vehicles registered to you, why the hell are you running your neighbours guests plates anyway?

Not condoning his actions "if" true.

But whats with the fking jobsworth keyboard warriors around here lately? Get a life man/woman, pull your nose from out of your curtain, leave the house and do something other than poking your nose into something that doesn't concern you.

If you are genuinely worried or concerned, why not speak to your neighbour and tell him - then he can tell his mate.

If he's as mad as a box of frogs like you suspect then maybe he's forgotten?

That's incorrect. Maybe you are thinking of the insurance one.

Because he's that nosey bd in every street in Britain, whenever there's movement his curtains/blinds are twitching. You know the one.......cuts his grass every day during the summer, has traffic cones placed outside hos house so nobody can park there.....That sort!

Aside from the nosiness- or inquisitive nature..

I wouldn't want a car with no MOT on our roads. His idea of maintenance may be higher although he might see wash and wax as enough

Why would anyone do this? I don't understand what goes on in people's heads. Is your life so empty and dull that you have absolutely nothing better to do with your time than "grassing" up other people to make you feel better about yourself? Just WTF. What is wrong with society these days ffs. mad

So we have yet another one. Why is it that despite posters knowing they are going to get a negative reaction starting threads like this, and this is one of many unfortunately, they continue to start sentences with "So"?

Do something more productive OP, like spying on your neighbours or something, anything but the PH designated "crime" you have just committed.

I love these threads.

The first response to the OP is negative so the PH lemmings follow. If the first response had said shop the guy, there would have been a whole load of other replies along the same lines.

I'll bet that if one of the respondents telling the OP to mind his own, was hit by an uninsured driver, they would wish someone had shopped them.

So don't involve me in your argument I am off at a complete tangent redface

Shop him , let's get him in court and punished severely for his alleged crimes then we can all sleep soundly in the knowledge that a good citizen has done his duty.
