The car has been kept on private road for a year. I moved it into a public road which is just a few yards away from my private parking. Nobody have seen me driving this car. Could I tell them that car was transported on the car trolley and left in the public place instead of public place?

Would that make a sens for them?

The offence is driving or keeping an unlicensed vehicle on a public road, in your case the offence will be keeping, how it got there will be irrelevant.

I'd be surprised if they didn't have photos.

DVLA (enforcement/whatever dept) are in the business of basically ripping off the hard working public.

Don't be so daft. For a start, they only deal with those who have untaxed cars on the public road, where they shouldn't be.

If your hard to trace, possibly of foreign orgins and register the car to a fake name/address, they just give up and you can basically drive around with no tax or insurance for as long as you like.

If the car was registered to a fake name, it's just been clamped and isn't going to be released. Kinda difficult to drive around like that. Oh, and prosecuting for lack of insurance isn't a DVLA issue anyway. That would go straight to court when Mr Plod finds you. Fake name would just add to the charges.

Modern Britain eh

Indeed. Why let facts spoil a good rant about foreigners? Remind me, are they stealing our benefits, jobs or both this week? Driving pay down or house prices to unaffordable heights?

Sad as it sounds, you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. There's a takeaway wagon just around the corner from me, the owners of which of a from a certain background (no offence to the PC brigade). There's no insurance on the vehicle, no tax, no MOT, and it's driven by about 8 different young lads. What's more, they routinely park it fully on the pavement while they pick up their deliveries from the takeaway.

Never seen a DVLA vehicle near them. Park your vehicle outside your house for one night without insurance and you'll be guaranteed the DVLA hit squad will be out to make you pay what they're wrongfully owed.

Presumably you've found time to check their tax, insurance and MOT status. Will you do anything about it?.

Wrongfully owed?.

How it got there is immaterial. Pixies could have moved it.

They spotted it parked on the public road without tax. Thats what the fines are for.

Is the car insured? If not you need to sort that quickly before they take an interest again.

You can if you want, but it wouldn't change anything.

The offense is an un-taxed vehicle kept on the road. How it got on the road makes no difference.
