    Well my moped has only just been three years old so I don't think I broke the law there right? I just didn't envisage all the jargon that I have to deal with for drive a lawnmower to be honest, given that you don't even need to have an insurance driving a tractor (apparently) but yea I hope it will all be sorted soon enough.

    I swear this thread is a wind up.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Before you ask or say it's legal in another country, it ain't here! OK?

    OK OK lol. But don't you think its a good idea to put your whole family on a 90mpg scooter? It would save UK more than 50% of our car emission surely if everyone is doing it lol.

    Dunno, I reckon they'd get away with it in the location mentioned in my previous post, which I shall not mention again :)

    No, not really.



    Think of where we would pay the extra taxes to make up for the lack of revenue from excise duty and petrol.

    Yet again do't bother because I bet you don't pay tax either.

    Just....can people be nice on internet?:(

    I mean your parents have been doing these things for years plus you have done a theory that's why you know about these things. It doesn't make it a sin if I have overlooked it right?

    Assuming you have the log book you can tax it online.

    No he can't as he has moved from the address on the logbook.

    OP - tax it now asap at post office using logbook, mot and insurance. Then your best bet is to ring DVLA and see if a fine has been issued to you. If it has been issued it will probably be £80 (unless it has gone to court) plus the back tax. If you chose to ignore it and do nothing then a CCJ could be issued if it goes to court. If you are lucky and no fine has been issued then you will be asked to send payment for the missing tax to your local DVLA office. You also need to change your address on your logbook.

    The correct statement is NEARLY 60% of cars IN SOME PARTS of Bradford.........

    STOP SPREADING LIES

    And to be fair, most of the drivers could probably produce a trade certificate from somewhere, if they needed to.
