If you're referring to an MOT test, the exemption applies to bringing it away afterwards. See Schedule 2 Section 22(1)(b) and (1A)(b) - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1994/22/sched...

In the past it was ticket or report for the driver and/or keeper depending on the circumstances. Nowadays it is a form to DVLA with details of the driver, time/date see etc. DVLA initiate any prosecution - they take action against both drivers and keepers.

You have followed up these forms have you, and know that out of "x" amount you have submitted, "y" have been actioned and drivers / keepers prosecuted? Do you really think the system is that efficient and slick? The reality is that around 90% of your form filling time is wasted. Is it still called a CLE28?

Why do you post so cryptically? Are you someone who is told something by your employer and believes it without question? Or do you observe the real goings on of the world and have the ability to adjust your own judgments based on what you see actually happen or not happen? You come across as very regimented in your views.

What an odd and unnecessary post.

Cat's posts are anything but cryptic - quite the contrary.

And what does it matter how many have been actioned by the DVLA or the courts ? The question was whether both the keeper and the driver could be proceeded against where an unlicensed vehicle was used on a road (maintained at public expense etc). As confirmed, the answer to that is yes.

I'm not sure what is cryptic about stating that the driver an untaxed car on a public road is committing an offence. I even quoted the relevant legislation to support what I was saying. My views/judgements on what does/doesn't happen are based on my personal experiences and knowledge from working on the frontline over the last 15 years. I am very much the opposite of an armchair expert.

And your still signing your name unnecessarily.

Thanks for your opinion. Fortunately for me what you think is/isn't necessary on the internet doesn't matter.

Hope this isn't too cryptic for you
