No vehicle tax

Look, the police do not prosecute for having no tax. They can however REPORT you for not displaying a valid tax disc. It is the DVLA that issue penalties for no tax.
Try ringing the police to report someone without tax and see what they say.
I find it extremely surprising that the police would take action against someone who's tax was only 6 days out of date by itself.
If you haven't got tax the police can issue a £60 ticket for failing to display.0 -
That's said because they wanted to gather and use evidence to prosecute you. It's called being under caution.
What do you mean 'hand in' docs?
The police will only carry out the procedure, as you have described, if you were caught driving the vehicle.
Is that something you've made up?0 -

OK, fair enough. I guess they either reported me to the DVLA who chose not to pursue it, or didn't even bother doing that.
I also found it surprising, but like I said they had tried to accuse me of going up this one way street which I didn't do, and since they had no evidence they focused their attention on the tax disc instead.0 -

Uhm, no?
The police caution you, that anything you say, can and will be used against you. That means you are now under caution.
Why do you think i made that up?0 -

As it happens, they didn't actually catch me driving it. They saw a car similar to mine driving the wrong way up a one way street but as they were occupied with other stuff they didn't get the registration number.
So they drove around until they found my car which was parked at the time. I denied having being in the one way street, my sister backed me up on this and they then said they had no proof it was me so would let it go. And then they spotted the tax disc...
Ye that's what i thought, just wanted to double check, as producers aren't used anymore. All the info is now available to police to check in about 5-10 minutes. I guess thay thought they'd better get some kind of result for the sergeant.0 -
it must have been around 2003/2004 that this happened so things have maybe changed since then.
Also it was in Scotland if that makes any difference.0 -
