When that happens, do you get a reason given?  Is it permanent?

Thanks for the responses, guys. And the car was reported via the .gov website for untaxed vehicles.

My experience is that led to no action.  Direct contact with the relevant part of the local council and it was gone within weeks.

I don't know how it works, whether it's permanent etc. It was a bit of a novelty I guess at first but definitely got tiresome towards the end and once it became too distracting It was good it went and the best move by admin. Probably need to keep an eye out for 'new posters' in this section although any public forum runs the risk of being invaded I've seen it happen a few times, hey ho.

And conversely my experience is the opposite.
Can't remember the exact time scale but the vehicle was stickered and clamped by the DVLA and some time later removed on a low loader.
I suppose it may depend on area and how busy they are and in the current climate probably not a priority.

Often they do purges in areas I've found, so there will be a number of vehicles clamped in one day and publicised on social media.

Hello folks. Should it take more than week since it was reported because the car's still there.

And same goes for non-MOT and non-insured cars too.

Thanks.

Whereabouts is the car? On the street , carpark? where?

It's on the street. And incidentally, there's another one with no insurance 😩
Does that have to be reported directly to the Police?

Yes, as it is a Criminal offence.
