What to do about dodgy car parked outside?
Discussion
Some bloke for the last few months has been leaving his 10 year old Passat parked on a road round the corner from me. I've noticed that very regularly (i.e. at least once or twice a week) he is issued with a parking ticket for leaving the vehicle parked illegally.
I was thinking today, its a bit odd that you would allow your car to get a parking ticket on a weekly basis so I've dug a bit further and put the registration through askmid and it turns out its also un-insured
. I'm guessing the parking offences must be going unpaid.
Is there anything I can do about this? The car is in daily use and has tax.

You've got the hump about a car parked on a road near yours?
Not being on ASKMID does not mean that it is uninsured - it means its not on ASKMID.
You've also broken the law by looking it up on ASKMID - do 2 wrongs make a right?
In answer to your question if you are genuinely suspicious report your suspicions to the police. Don't forget to tell them why you are suspicious

How has he broken the law by looking it up on ASKMID? Not being on ASKMID does not mean that it is uninsured - it means its not on ASKMID.

Don't shoot the messenger This is quoted from the website search:

I get half a dozen tickets a week, though I've never paid one.
I never park illegally - if the council can't mark out their parking bays and create properly enforcable traffic regulation orders, that's not my problem.
So, every week I get a few tickets, every week I appeal, win and the status quo is maintained...
(Oh and I am insured btw)

.... but seems a bit suspicious. deveng said:
phone the policy and tell them there is an uninsured, untaxed car being used regularly, they see it has a shed load of unpaid tickets, it gets crushed.
as the romans would say "jobus donus"
If it was untaxed surely they would have removed it instead of just putting a ticket on it???as the romans would say "jobus donus"

Edit - I parked for free for 3yrs at a train station car park (privately owned), never bought a parking ticket & got ticketed a few times a week ... ignored them all as well as the reminders

Think it's because before you search you have to say 'yes this is my car'.

How else could it get taxed without insurance?Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
