Driver details from DVLA/reg plate...
Discussion
Apparently 'security' firms can do this. There was an article in the Sunday Times about it this weekend. Sainsburys use it to send fines out to anyone who parks in their car parks for more than two hours.
It's an outrageous selling out of privacy in my opinion. I really don't know on what basis this right was granted to the DVLA.

I wouldn't worry about your personal details are traded by this government around the world. DVLA records to crinimal clampers, credit card details given to US everytime you go and see disney and they have now announced that once they bag and tag you under the ID scheme your biometrics will also be openly traded.
Be afraid - very afraid.

But "if you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to fear". And "only those with something to hide would worry about this".
Presuming this information is kept on a computer, can't we all issue s.10 notices (s.10 of the Data Protection Act gives a right to prevent processing of information likely to cause damage or distress) and stop this from happening?
Be interesting to see the DVLA processing 60 million S.10 Notices.

Had some guy park on my drive, blocking me in. Totally on my drive, preventing me from leaving.
DVLA would not release details.
Cops would not remove vehicle as on private property.
Was warned that they now had a record of my intention to remove the vehicle and that I would be held responsible for any damage that occurred!
3 days later owner removed it of his own accord while I was at work.

If a similar thing happens again write to them saying you wish to instigate legal proceedings (civil) against the driver of said vehicle. Request the address and assure them it will only be used in connection with legal proceedings. You don't have to say what the matter is about.
Boosted.

Nice idea. Where do I get one
This is currently undergoing a ministerial review following the Times article mentioned above.
I'm fairly certain that the DVLA are not sending out these details any more, pending the results of the review.
This is certainly the case at work as we're trying to get these details (for purely legal reasons, honest guv) and despite having signed a contract with them before this all kicked off, they're dragging their heels about giving us access

You simply need to write a letter along these lines:
Notice Persuant to S.10 Data Protection Act 1998
Take Notice that I require you to cease processing any personal data of which I am the subject insofar as the processing of that data involves the communication or passing of personal data to any third party.
This Notice is given onthe grounds that the processing or continued processing by you of the said data will be likely to affect my reputation and cause substantial damage and /or substantial distress and is unwarranted.
Signed
Dated
