Question about cars

What law?19lottie82 wrote: »Yes, moving a car that doesn't belong to you is against the law...
I've moved plenty of cars that are not my own.
Maybe you could sell it to a scrap dealer? Then if/when they come hunting for it say you don't know. Nobody can prove either way and if it's broken at a scrap dealer then no proof anyway.
If the scrap dealer sells it, if they've paid you cash with no receipt, the onus is on them to prove you sold it to them.
None of that very ethical mind.
OR
Let the local gypsies know about it. But I don't like to encourage them round our area by giving them things.
OR
Push it on to the road, then say the handbrake must have failed. Then you didn't move it :P
HOWEVER:
Please report back what happened to help others and solve this case.0 -
The car must be registered to someone. DVLA will have a name and address in their database.
This will not be an issue until you take ownership of the property, don't even think about you will tackle it till then.
You could shove it into the road but you then run the risk of fly-tipping, of course the persons on the database runs the risk of having an untaxed/uninsured vehicle on the public highway for which the fines can be punitive.
Your solicitor will know what to do. liaise with him/her!0
