2 cars one I.d. tax & MOT
Discussion
My mate came up with this thought the other day,
Two cars with the same plates, 1 lot of tax and of
course 1 mot.The real car would have insurence therfore
could also be driven 3rd party by someone else, which
would cover the other car for someone else to drive
if you follow me.
The cars would be the same colour make model.
The tax disc would be lost and a duplicate appied for.
Now he knows he would be breaking the law and would be
punished but if the cars were say 5 miles apart say with family how would he be caught?

When he gets stopped by Police.Two cars with the same plates, 1 lot of tax and of
course 1 mot.The real car would have insurence therfore

Very much doubt the insurance would cover the car as being the main car for somebody who was not the registered keeper, and what would be the registered address? When stopped, are you the owner? Is muggins who is the nominal owner going to pay all the parking fines, speeding tickets etc of the other? How many tax discs do you get?
Ifyou your mate managed to solve the practical problems, I'd like to think that somebody would eventually spot that there are two identical cars, and hopefully both people involved would get a severe kicking.

The Police, i dont recall ever checking Chassis no's
on any of my cars when being pulled over ? maybe they do now?
No tax, maybe the driver is being a bit cagey/evasive. Might be worth checking the car properly. Maybe somone has tipped off the BiB...on any of my cars when being pulled over ? maybe they do now?

They always used to check chassis numbers when I ever got pulled up, thankfully I haven't been stopped for years so not sure if they still do.on any of my cars when being pulled over ? maybe they do now?
As for the OP, what's the point of the exercise anyway?

Being pulled over by the BiB is a regular occurrence for you, then?on any of my cars when being pulled over ?
For me it isn't, but if 'your mate' tends to get pulled over a lot that must greatly increase the chance that he would be caught and get a well deserved kicking for driving with no tax, MOT or insurance.
only time plod ever checked the chassis number when ive been pulled went as follows
car re-registered on Q-plate, i built it out of two sheds
tax disc etc from dvla arrived, i got plates mate & went out that night in it
plod stops me
plod points to numberplate & says whats that?
i say a number plate
plod says dont be cheeky its not on our computer
i say computer is out of date
plod says no
i point to tax disc & say issued dvla, computer out of date
plod mutters
plod checks chassis number, i quote old reg for it
plod checks engine number, i quote old reg & point out it matches the etching on the windows
an hour or so has passed (inc waiting for checks) plod lets me go saying dont do it again
do what again? drive a legal car legally?

Its been done many times before. Over the years several persons I know of have had two cars one plates. It probably becomes difficult to justify duplicate disks every 12 months.Two cars with the same plates, 1 lot of tax and of

If you had 2-3 cars the same you could change the "main'
car each year with three owners and address names each in turn.You would have to be good friends though and live well apart. this seems to be a loophole.
obvioussly only done with old sheds of same type and colour. These are the thoughts of my friend, I only have
newish/valuable cars, I argued with him it could not be done but he shot me down everytime.
