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.

I doubt that politely talking to someone who may well be driving illegally will get anywhere. Highly unlikely they would "forget" as the DVLA sent out reminded notices, then go quite quickly into fine issue mode.

Here's a thought, why does everyone not just get on with their own life and stop worrying about everybody else.

How about we find out how you'd feel if you had your car written off by an uninsured untaxed car :beer:

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

Youre correct. It would only make a difference if, for instance, the car was insured fully comp. and then had an accident. The insurers would just simply refuse to pay out for damages to your vehicle (Assuming you were at fault that is), as you had not complied with the T&C's of the contract. However, you could not be prosecuted for the offence No insurance, as the vehicle would still have the minimum cover required in respect of third party claims. The same goes for MOT, as this is only test the cars roadworthiness at the time of test, and therefore would not be affected by having no tax.

That aside though, and as others have said, it is highly likely that the vehicle is completely uninsured. I'd report it.

Dont ask me, ask the tax avoiders. It's the"ooo i'm telling" mentality that gets me.

How about we dont? So you will put your life on hold until this person has been prosecuted?

!!!!less people to pay their road tax the same as the rest of us.
