Would love to know how to get rid of an abandoned car in the road,
where we are short of parking places. Not MoT'ed and SORN'ed.
Been there for 18 months. Interior now all gone moldy.

Council slapped a removal notice on it, but owners contacted them
and said they hoped to get it working again, which technically
means it's not abandoned, so council can't remove it.

Council however reported it to DVLA because it's SORNed and on the
public road, but DLVA did nothing.

I thought it was an offence to have a car on a public road without an MOT?

I once sold a car to someone on Glasgow, and there was no tax on it. When I realised he had no driveway and was going to park it in the road, I warned him there were lots of traffic wardens about, but he ignored me. A week later he phoned me up to see if I could hurry through the V5, as he needed to collect it from the local pound.

So I really don't understand why a SORNed car isn't taken away immediately.
