Big brother at its finest :-(


Technically if he didn't have a valid licence then he can't be insured -
which would entitle the police to seize the vehicle, it would be kept at
an
impound lot for up to 14 days and only be collected by someone with the
full
set of driving documents or on a trailer, there's also nearly ò00 impound
fee + ñ2/day storage. Otherwise the car would be crushed, sold at auction
or converted for use as a bait car.

The same applies for no tax disc or MOT test certificate.


Nice. Just like our RICO statutes.


As well as ANPR equipped police patrols (tax, MOT & insurance are all on the
police national computer now) We have DVLA vans scouring all the side
streets clamping any untaxed vehicles they find.
