untaxed car

callywally

One of my neighbours is driving around in a car that has not been taxed for 7 months!
while I really dont like to report people for such things i have to tax my car and it really annoys me that they dont they both work. How can they get away with it.
Should I report it? and who too?

The only reason I'd report an untaxed car is because it's unlikely they're insured.

Car tax is one of the biggest government scams going.

I reported one once, but was told that as it had been SORNed, they would not take any action. This was even though the vehicle was regularly driven. The DVLA seemed happy to accept that it was off the road if it has been declared SORN.

I wouldnt hesitate to be honest. Like another poster says its probablly not insured.

Thanks for replys I know car tax is a rip off but I have to pay it why shouldnt they? Also I always thought although i may be wrong that if any part of tax mot or insurance was not up to date the others are automatically invalid.
Also if it were just a month or too out of date maybe not so bad but 7 months!

As far as i am aware because i have been corrected myselfon the same assumption not having tax does not invalidate insurance or MOT

you can check if they have insurance on this website

You would have thought that an ANPR camera or a patrol officer doing random reg no. checks would have picked it up after that length of time

Why don't you simply politely remind them if they are your neighbour?
Surely the neighbourly thing to do?

They may not be aware the tax has run out, or perhaps have taxed it and forgotten to put the tax in the windscreen.

If they are intentionally driving without tax, then please report them.
But you will need to be able to give a regular time & place the vehicle can be seen on a public highway to have any chance of them being caught.
