PASS THE BUCK WEEK!
A few weeks ago a car was left on a pavement outside a house I know that in unoccupied. It has not moved in all the time that it has been there and when I went past it this week I saw the Registration plate and found that the tax and MOT had expired. I thought that it was either stolen or abandoned so I made enquiries:-
OPTION 1 CONTACT THE CCBC AND REPORT IT AS ABANDONED
THE WEBSITE SAID You should not report a vehicle as abandoned just because: Untaxed, SORN or without MOT) -
It went on to add:-
You should report an untaxed vehicle which is on a public road
to the DVLA on the DVLA websiteYou can check if a car has an MOT or has been declared off the road (SORN) on the GOV.UK website.
If a vehicle doesn’t have an MOT and is being used on a public road, you
should report this to the Police by calling 101.OPTION 2 CONTACT THE DVLC
This is not really an option because as a debt recovery agency the DVLA is not fit for purpose. The road tax expired in October 2019 and the DVLA has done nothing about it
OPTION 3 PHONE THE POLICE ON 101
That is exactly what I did and after explaining the situation to the male operator I was told that the Police could do absolutely nothing about it unless the car was being driven.
I was then advised to contact the CCBC OPTION 4
