Untaxed but insured and still being driven

[trickywoo]

I thought with the new automated system that it wasn't possible to have an insured but untaxed car (not SORN) without being fined.

Person in my office seems to have one. The DVLA is showing 'unlicensed' with the tax liability as 1/4/12. Its been driven in every day for the last month and askmid is showing as insured.

Thanks.

Guess they are good at avoiding ANPR.

But quite apart from whether it is insured or not, if it isn't taxed or SORN they will eventually get fined.

So you would think.

They park it off road at work and I imagine have a rural commute so I guess they think the chances of being caught are low.

I've reported it. Wonder how long it will take the DVLA to do something.

Since the introduction of continuous registration, they don't need to be caught using it, they will get fined if they don't tax it or SORN it even if it never leaves their driveway.

Thought so but it's been expired for over two months and they are still driving it. Guess the fine hasn't reached them yet.

hope you're proud of yourself

I am yes, thanks.

Bit of background which I didn't add before was that they had a badly worn tyre (steel banding clearly visable over most of the outer edge), for who knows how long. I pointed it out and even suggested a good mobile fitter at less than £50 a corner for branded tyres. They didn't do anything about it for weeks.

For further clarification the tax displayed in the car shows 03/12. The DVLA website says date of liability 01/04/12, vehicle status unlicensed.

Hope none of you calling me a grass live any where near me

If someone stole a TV from your house would you be happy if the neighbours watched them load it up and did nothing?

Its people like you and he two other cocks above that mess the country up not me.

The nobber with no tax has history with driving on a highly illegal tyre which I gave them the benefit of the doubt on hence reporting them for the tax.
