If I may step in here and say

1 - Road tax has nothing to do with the Police. The police merely notify the DVLA if they come across a vehicle without any road tax, failing to display road tax etc

2 - It is not a ''criminal offence'' per se to drive a vehicle with no road tax. I.e the Police will not deal with it.

3 - Insurance - the onus is on the driver to make sure he has insurance for the vehicle and on the Registered Keeper or Owner to make sure that if they have no insurance for said driver, that said driver has his own. If neither has insurance then the driver will be prosecuted for having no insurance and should they so wish, the Registered Keeper or Owner may be prosecuted for the offence of Use, Cause, Permit.

4 - Vehicle roadworthiness is solely the responsibility of the driver at the time to do a P.O.W.D.E.R check and ensure that the vehicle is safe to drive.

Hope this helps!!

Oh and before I forget...It does not invalidate your insurance, not having or failing to display a Tax Disc......

Road tax is dealt with by the police if the vehicle fails to display, therefore a £60 fine is issued. The police also work alongside the DVLA to find 'out of tax' vehicles and issue a CLE2/6 which informs the DVLA and they then dish out their own fine and on most occassions clamp the vehicle until the fine has been paid. :rolleyes:
