Honestly why would you take the time to check on mot/tax and mid on someone else's car??? So what if no one else can park outside their house?
Its not even moving, just parked there. Let them get on with their lives and you get on with yours.

Maybe its because he pays road tax and insures his car and thinks everyone else should too. It is all very well ignoring it all until someone gets hurt or damaged then you end up chasing your tail.I happily do the same and most people on our road do not even park on the road.Its not even moving, just parked there.

Lets face it they get dumped then things start growing on them. Leaves do not get swept up (car blocks sweeper truck) and the drain becomes blocked and then the road floods (I live on a hill). After a while bits get removed from the car and then it gets burnt out. All the time it is blocking the road and a parking spot for someone.
We get the school bus down our road which inevitably gets blocked because parents needs to park as close to the school as possible so that Billy Bunter can die of type II diabetes as quickly as possible. A dumped car adds to this.
If it is not taxed and insured park it on your drive or at the breakers and stop blocking the road for those vehicles that pay.

If its not insured and on the road then its illegal. That is all the reason needed for people to want the car gone or insured.
They should go round sink estates with an ANPR van - return next day and clamp all the illegal vehicles, then with a fleet of transporters on standby, sieze them all the next day.
Move from estate to estate and rinse and repeat.
Eventually the message will get through.

DVLA or Council had a blitz around here a year or so ago. Was surprising the number, and type of car clamped! A few snotters you'd expect to see on their way to a scrapyard, and couple of newish ones!
From memory, 7 or 8 clamped in a sort of 4 street radius. A4 sized sticky labels attached to windscreens and side windows explaining in BIG LETTERS just why your pride and joy had been clamped as well.
Remember one car had been 'parked' on a corner and caused a few problems when it was clamped.

I would just leave it and go about your own business. Some people are just scum.
I'd love to see the look on their faces if you parked a Smart car in between.k wits. Nothing you can really do. You can't talk to those kinds of people.I would just leave it and go about your own business. Some people are just scum.

There was a similar run, near where i live a couple of years ago, covering the high street and surrounding roads that feature on street parking.From memory, 7 or 8 clamped in a sort of 4 street radius.

On the day i was in town i reckon at least 50-60% of the cars on the high street ended up having stickers chucked over the windscreen with warnings over no tax, no mot, no insurance or a combination of those 3. The local paper later reported that on the day they did the blitz, they'd run out of clamps by 10am which is why they resorted to stickers over the screen. Funnily enough the cars that got clamped then ended up outside of the 30 minutes free parking allowance so got ticketed for that too
Of the cars being stickered, most of them were under 5 years old, with a decent spread of SUV's, Mercs, BMW's, etc. One of them was a barely 6 month old Range Rover SVR which was showing as no tax or insurance - good going really considering the value of the car, but couldn't afford or be bothered to tax or insure it

The car in question is a Smart Fourfour. Its a strange choice as all 5 members of the family are clinically obese. One of the neighbours watched the father and eldest son get into it and said you'd have thought it was a low rider.
They seem to be lunatic enough to have bought it especially just to fit into that particular space on the roadAlexRS2782 said:

I would love to see this happen on a VERY regular basis - good income stream for the council too one might imagine.On the day i was in town i reckon at least 50-60% of the cars on the high street ended up having stickers chucked over the windscreen with warnings over no tax, no mot, no insurance or a combination of those 3.

turned up this afternoon with a tow truck. 5 minutes later and the car was taken away. Hopefully that is the end of it all.
