    No, I'm waiting for you to provide evidence of police and dvla seizures being dishonest and therefore theft.

    And I'm waiting for you to provide info they're absotuely, undeniably, irrefutably 100% honest. Otherwise, what percentage do you think are if you can't prove the 100%?

    You started with the suggestion there may be dishonesty. Feel free to evidence it if yet can.

    My Uncle who is a mechanic drove it home for me under is garages insurance policy using that plate dangled over the original reg which I cannot remember what its called! If that makes sense.

    Trade plate. And technically he broke the terms of having one so the Police could rescind it.

    So you are allowed to drive an uninsured car to a test station?
    Ie without tax.

    An untaxed car is not uninsured. The law allows a car covered by insurance but without MOT or tax to be driven to and from a pre-booked MOT.

    So how does the gas safe register work? Do they own all the plumbers? FSA register?

    More worrying using the "register = owning" logic is the Sex Offenders Register. The perv registers his / her offence, which is now owned by the Government. So the Government must be the most prolific !!!!!philes in history by now!

    Of to Lobdob now to throw a few bricks at No 10......

    Department of Transport actually, but yes they could.

    I'm actually quite surprised his Uncle didn't warn him about parking an unlicensed car on a public road.

    Come to think of it, could his Uncle not have stored the car, at the garage?
