....eek, they just had a van turn in the cul-de-sac at the end of my drive, it had cameras on each corner and was moving veeerrrrrrry slowly.
We're lucky if we see traffic in this village let alone a DVLA van checking cars! |

Its not the DVA its the council rates - acting on a tip-off you have opened a hotel/restaurant/breakfast cafe. All them bacon butties, the five people you are putting up in the shed and the overflowing bins - they've got you ths time  |

Why don't they just get someone to look at the windscreen to check the car tax disc? Traffic wardens do that. Once got fined by them for not displaying a current one ...... my son had removed it and stuck it to his jumper to wear as a sheriffs badge then left it on the seat partially covered by his cowboy hat. Thing is there were about three old tax discs in the car he could have used!  |

Because they are checking the registration not the tax disk. They don;t care about tax discs. So if you ever buy a car with 12 months tax, 11 months later you might find it being lifted as despite the (apparently)valid tax disk the previous owner has stopped the cheque he used to pay for it having achieved his goal of increasing the sale value of the car. I know this from bitter experience... |

I can never understand if you're stopped by police for a minor offence and a ticking off and they give you a producer. You then have to go to station to show your licence, mot and insurance documents. They have all that info on their data base. If its not in order, they should charge you there and then. I think they just like giving the driving public the run around. |

I think that it is a power trip these days. As you say it's all on there database, I was stopped in a hire car recently as it was flagged on their system as stolen. They stopped me only a few hundred metres up the road from the vehicle recognition camera - that's how good the technology is. It was easily resolved and they also checked my licence there and then. |

yeah - i remember the "Producer" or we called them "seven day wonders" as the cops "wondered" if you were going to turn up with all the documents.. you dont need to produce any documents nowadays - they know if your insured taxed and mot tested on the computer now x |

the van is not just checking for tax, it also checks for insurance and mot. if its parked on a road with no insurance or tax or mot they will clamp the car there and then. you then have 24hrs to resolve the issue, if you dont get it sorted the lorry will turn up the very next day and lift your car and remove it.
we have seen six cars in our road removed by the dvla van and lorry and think its brilliant. all six cars were being driven daily and if they had hit you, you cant do a thing !!! |

There was an 8 hour armed seige near me last year, as one of these vans had been round, tried to clamp a untaxed car, the owner, a pensioner came out of housepointed a gun at the lady trying to clamp it.
Obviously she left, and called police, in teh time it took them to turn up, the guy had escaped out of a side door, and was caught about 5 miles away.
Never saw a report on what sentence he got, but the house was sold without him ever returning. |

Hello, hello, hello, are you from no.69 lets-be-avenue.... Of course as you are armed and dangerous I'll have to put the cuffs on you and carry out an 'all orifice search' before banging you up. So ma'am please step over to the car and .....spread 'em. Oh, and if you are shy I'll turn the cameras off ! |

Some muppet tried to break into my car about 3 years ago and failed. Passing bobby said they were probably after the tax disc as it was clear there was nothing else in the car (actually there is a steel locked box with all the valuables in it and it would be easier to steal the car than get into that). Keep the tax disc in my wallet now and the one in the window is dated 2009. Never had a problem with it. I could be done for "failure to display" but a new window will cost me more than fine |
