a broken down piece of crap has been abandoned on the road outside my house for a few days. I checked the mot, tax & insurance today - tax & mot valid but no insurance. Its a worthless piece of s
te so very unlikely its 'in the trade'.
But although there is dvla facility to report untaxed cars, there is not for uninsured ones. Don't want to 101 it as its not actualy being driven. Just want it got rid of.
There's a good reason for there being no facility for reporting uninsured cars:te so very unlikely its 'in the trade'. But although there is dvla facility to report untaxed cars, there is not for uninsured ones. Don't want to 101 it as its not actualy being driven. Just want it got rid of.
By checking MID for insurance on someone else's car you're committing a criminal offence. The askmid page had a very clear warning that you can't use it unless the car you're checking "is either registered/ owned/ insured by me or my employer; I am permitted to drive it; I am an Insurance Broker or agent and acting on behalf of my client." and you have to intentionally tick a box to confirm that's the case.
Since there's no other (simple) way to check insurance status, a reporting facility would basically be an admission-of-breaking-the-law facility for the person using it.

I get pissed off with my neighbours cars that aren't broken down parked either edge of my drive.......why buy a house if you've nowhere to park your cars? I don't do it to them.......reason? I bought a house to suit my needs. I wouldn't like the situation the op is in any more than he does.
I can kinda see your point. One 3bed house that seems to have four+ cars seems to be the norm on some Wimpey etc etc estates. The Developers put the minimal access space/access etc in anyway then a family buy/develop and you've got cars everywhere. Only a couple of houses like this on one road and its daft.No modern "garage" will hold a car and even if it did it will be too full of bikes and laundry machines to get a car in.
If you need to park more than one car buy a house with enough land to do it instead of clogging up the streets.

Are you going to continue to wear your educational sub-normality like a badge of honour every time we interact on any given subject?Why do you assume that I bought my house at a time when all this stuff was going on? As it happens, all my neighbours do have drives, they just choose not to use them, because lately it seems less inconvenient for them, for reasons best known to themselves, to dump their cars in the street. That, along with the recent building of flats nearby with not enough parking spaces, combines to ruin what was, at the time of my house purchase, a quiet, clear street.
I get by in life, sadly though not with the aid of psychic powers.

You'd be surprised where my education level sits, I'd be surprised if yours is anywhere near it.

Given you took it upon yourself to play superior with me, then I'll point out whenever there's an issue with your posts.

What do you mean, " play superior with me " ? You posted an acerbic reply, full of mistaken assumptions, and as usual, haven't acknowledged that you did so, preferring, as usual, to try and bluff it out.

Well, crack on, let's see this education in action.

Well for a start I can remember as far back as the Sunday before last amd your less than subtle digs at me. That didn't take education though, that was a simple memory test that most children can cope with. Well, crack on, let's see this education in action.
I made no mistaken assumptions. I stated that, had you "bought a house that met your needs", then you would've bought a different house to the one you did. The simple reason for that being one of your requirements is not to have neighbours parking outside your house, yet for some reason you bought a house with neighbours.
Shame others called you on that part too. What was the phrase? Ah yes "tough s

Great response, education shining through! I did buy a house that suits my needs, as stated previously..........times change, and so have the surroundings, more so than could reasonably have been expected in the period of ownership.I made no mistaken assumptions.

t"Talking of memory tests that most children can cope with, you may remember a conversation a while ago in which you got yourself into such a tizz because it wasn't going your way, that you felt the need to poke around in my profile to look for something to use against me. Didn't find anything, but you tried and failed to use what little I put in there, and another reason not have much respect for you.
You get less than subtle digs from me because of the way you respond, not only to me, but to people in general, and often for no good reason. If you don't like it, that's unfortunate, but bullies need to be bullied. Suck it up, or stop doing it yourself.

I had a poke around in your profile? I doubt that, I may go in there sometimes to find the thread, but that's it. Feel free to embarrass me on that though if you can. I've yet to snoop around a profile for something to embarrass people with though so you may be a while. The only other threads we've interacted on are the daft "modern cars can do 70-120mph in the blink of an eye without any conscious driver input" amd the "I've got a NIP, oh woe is me". Neither of which were particularly going against me as such.

I'm a bully? Hahahahahaha. That's the best thing I've heard in a while. I'm blunt and for that I make no apologies. I rarely suffer fools, but please don't try to deflect it away by suggesting I'm a bully, nothing could be further from the truth, not least as I've helped many on here on their thread, by PM, or just on something else such as bike track days. Others don't like me, but not being to everyone's taste does not make me a bully.

They're not specific on the MID page, they just warn that it's an offence.
But, as a first guess, you'd be guilty under S.1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (Unauthorised access to computer material).
They actually warn that it could be a section 55 DPA offence - and they are wrong.But, as a first guess, you'd be guilty under S.1 of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 (Unauthorised access to computer material).
CMA is closer to reality if they wanted to pursue it - but they'd have a very long line outside the courts by now and their proof of authority requirements are somewhat lax.

I'll keep this brief, as it's way off topic, and boring for others. Me too, come to mention it.I'm a bully? Hahahahahaha. That's the best thing I've heard in a while.

As far as my profile's concerned, you did exactly as I said, even suggesting that you'd removed something from it later in the thread. Which immediately marked you out as a waster. The fact you choose not to remember it, especially given your earlier views on the very subject of memory, speaks volumes.
Your second paragraph is hardly an unexpected response. Who likes admitting to bullying?
I'm all done with you, you're an absolute waste of time. Rare when I have such a low opinion of a forum user. Have a parting free shot, you'll probably find it even more fun than the cheap ones you're so fond of.

If I get this right, I'd I'd some thing that I have no recollection of amd you have no proof of. Great. I also don't know anything about you, but keep on dreaming.
Yawn on the bullying. I'm a middle aged bloke in a professional role, not some child. I have a different view to you. That usually means being called a troll, sadly, as you've already used that tired old line you now want to call me a bully. I'm not, but you seem quite keen to peck at me at every opportunity.
I don't think you'll stick to avoiding me. I'll wait for the next thread where you have another dig at me.

Sadly this is happening everywhere. People buy a house with either a small drive or no off road parking at all. Husband and wife have a car each, so do their grown up kids and expect to be able to park all over the street. One of them will of course also bring a big work van home.. This happens for every house.
No modern "garage" will hold a car and even if it did it will be too full of bikes and laundry machines to get a car in.
If you need to park more than one car buy a house with enough land to do it instead of clogging up the streets.
Take this, and add "Converted the existing garage into an extra room", and you describe the family who have 4 vehicles and 1 parking space (their drive) in my street. I must be one of maybe two houses out of 17 that a) keeps their cars on the property they own and b) actually uses their garage to store a car in.No modern "garage" will hold a car and even if it did it will be too full of bikes and laundry machines to get a car in.
