Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).

Searching this forum suggests this happens quite a lot.
It also reveals a horde of posters who vehemently declare it's always illegal to open wrongly-addressed mail, and others who (more calmly) point out it's only illegal if done with intent of financial gain or similar.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
1Any idea what I should do about this:-
Somebody has registered a vehicle at my address. I have the V5C certificate, and I have received a number of what look like parking tickets that I have binned.
DVLA website suggests, “If you’ve never been the registered keeper, write to DVLA to ask for proof that you’re not the registered keeper. Give them as much information about the vehicle as possible.
DVLA will update their records and send a letter of confirmation to you within 4 weeks.

Could be the insurance at your address is cheaper than elsewhere. Or they could be avoiding taxing the vehicle.
Can check if its Taxed here - https://www.vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/
And insured here - http://ownvehicle.askmid.com/
(I’m on an iPad so I copied those links without checking then first, no guarantee they work)
Lastly are you sure it isn’t a neighbour making a typing mistake in the form? I’d be looking out for the vehicle locally.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

On the bright side at least you got the cleaning done and then a bit of time out in the sunshine.
DD2s football team lost in the top of the table derby match against their 'sister' team and will probably now miss out on promotion. DD2 a bit upset but as I pointed out, silver lining is next season they will be by far the best team in their division and can get lots of wins and score lots of goals....I think....0 -
