umesh 336 Posted November 28, 2015 I still don't understand it .....You telling me people have stopped buying road tax since the 'no disc' changes, surely this cannot be true ?, Lots still confused about the changes 12+ months on , but just think about to all cars being taxed at month ends etc as tax doesn't pass on .. does this imply customers just don't care and carry on driving 'un taxed ' , Ok some of the 'slips' might not get posted and delays change over but seems like the whole country is doing that ?? what about the ANPR Cameras? , The numbers don't make sense to me , just makes me wonder is a 'software' issue somewhere which may come out ...

Cornish Guy 45 Posted November 30, 2015 El Dodgo buys a 2nd hand vehicle privately giving a false name and address.The seller send his part to the DVLA.The DVLA then sends out letters to Never Never Land.Because of costs the rozzers have abandoned fitting ANPR cameras to their vehicles.Most crimes like theft of petrol, shop lifting, fraud are now not worth of logging let alone investigating.Net result?Crime Pays!

Steve92 80 Posted November 30, 2015 The buggers fined me £40 for failing to tax my corsa when I didn't have the v5 to it ... Funnily enough the fine was issued 2 days after I had taxed it. It was never used on the road as it was poorly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
