200sxhoody Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I know it would be silly and your own fault if you had no tax on the road, but thought I would let people know that a DVLA clearly marked transit is cruising chelt residential streets, looks like they will be clamping untaxed cars again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick1 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 99% not taxed will have no insurance Which means most will be unroad worthy heaps of shite driven by scrotes with no care for other road users and then when they have a bump the other person loses everything CRUSH THE FOOKIN LOT and if that means a few genuine people get caught out TOUGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoluZion3 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 hmm i have to agree with Mick. ok, as long as decent people get a couple of weeks' leeway and a slapped wrist for missing renewal, cars that a well out of tax should be dealt with - and their owners!

cybernet Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Now the system is 100% computerised, the only people who can get away with not taxing are those who don't register the vehicle. As said above, if it's not registered you can bet it probably won't be MOT'd or insured either :rolleyes: These partols are the only way of catching these scum. If a vehicle doesn't show a valid tax disc they will first check the computer system (eg: to prevent Eileen's Zed from being crushed because she's not changed the disc yet) and if it's definitely untaxed they will clamp it and eventually crush the fooker if the owner doesn't pay up! At the end of the day we are the ones paying for these twats to drive around through our increased insuarnce premiums and loaded road tax :xxx: Rant over!

Z32dave Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 how long we gotta wait untill the zed becomes tax exempt? For ever I think. They made over 25 year old cars exempt in 1997 (I think) which meant cars older than 1972 are exempt (again, I think) but they have never brought this ruling up to date so 1972 is still (and probably always will be) the exempt date.

LOL Yeah you can do it online but if like me you buy a new car and get insurance a week before going away then it can be hell to sort out. Login to DVLA to get taxed and you may be told you are uninsured and are comitting an offence! Call DVLA and find it can take UP TO 3 WEEKS for the computers to update your details depending on how often they get data from the particular insurer. Now that is ridiculous for an online system! Waited for my cover note to arrive "within 2 days" and after a week it hadn't so I couldn't go to the post office to do it either. Had to go away without tax for 2 weeks when I had spent a week trying to tax the bloody thing! Even though it's all on computer you can still get fined for "Failing to display a tax disk" What a joke, when all police traffic cars can now pull up this information on computer. It's about time they did away with the tax disk and just put the price on the MOT or fuel. I can understand that before, having to go to the Post Office to get a tax disk was a way of checking your car is insured and MOT'd once a year but now MOT and insurance is computerised they know if the car is road legal anyway. This could still be chased up in the same way if you didn't MOT/insure/SORN it. One reason they probably won't change it? When you tax it it starts from the first day of the month so you are forced to lose up to 30 days tax, then when you have to get a refund you can lose another 30 days that they pocket! This must put so many people off taxing their vehicle for up to a month so they don't lose out, putting them at risk of a minimum £200 fine that they don't deserve. That really is a con when they know to the day when you taxed and MOT'd it. Who would put up with being ripped off for nearly 2 months money dealing with any other company??!! Drives me mad when I have 2 cars and one is regularly off the road. I think I lost 3 months tax last year, it's a massive money making scam. How behind the times is this country?! Nobody else messes their drivers about so much as in the UK! Sticking a paper disk in the window goes back to 1921 and is based on licensing for steam vehicles etc in the 1800's :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celt1 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Now I actually own a post office that issues car tax so it ain't hard for me to renew and to boot I get paid a very small fee for doing it!!!. Few years back, just as they brought in the rules about needing a log book to tax your car (previously a V10 tax application and a V62 vehicle log book application would do) I bought a car, full MOT and then insured it, but couldn't tax it cause the previous owner had lost the log book. Ok no prob's, sent off for a new one and after 4 weeks of waiting and still not having had it (using public transport through this period) and missing my bus for work one day, thought screw this and took the car (it was only missing another rip off tax after all), got caught by a car tax camera and fined for using a car on the road without tax and the road tax backdated to when I had bought the vehicle and applied for the log book they hadn't sent, but they still managed to send me the fine 2 weeks before the log book eventually turned up!!!! To be honest they do everything thay can to make it as difficult as possible to tax your car - for years a fax has been accepted as a legal document everywhere else, but DVLA rules state that over a Post Office counter we can only accept an original document (the damn things are only printed by the insurance company anyway, probably on some nobs bubble jet printer), so anyone with a typo on their doc's can't just get a fax sent over to my office to rectify the mistake, but has to wait for the Snail Mail to get it to you sometime next century!!! And don't automatically trust the online version either - one of my customers used it, the tax disc never showed (again through Royal Snail) and they had to pay to get a replacement on a lost or stolen tax disc notification form, and on top of that couldn't use the car till the new one came as it's also an offence to have a car on the road without a valid tax disc on display!!!! The whole system is a waste of space - rant over ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
znut Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 its amazing how people and there opinions change :rolleyes: 10-15 years ago anyone sticking a finger up to a goverment run shambolic licence to print money department (dvla :xxx: ) they got a cheer, now they,ve brainwashed the nation into thinking iff a person dont buy road tax everyone is going to be out of pocket while at the same time the wantfull waste of money on our road network is self evident on a daily basis.i myself dont condone some fvkin scrott running around with no insurance in a death trap because thats bad :nono: but no road tax is not a hanging offence and dont warrant getting your car crushed with no iffs,butts or why,s, its getting like the soviet regime in the 80,s ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm sure you will, lol). Dave No you are right!!! :dance: In his 1st budget old Brown scrapped the "rolling 25 years" exemption so no further cars became exempt from payment. I remember it well as I had a 1973 Jag at the time and I still had to pay :cry: Richard ;) Quote I have something to say............

Yampiedog Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 bit harsh - insurance/ mot i could understand... but tax evasion??

Crush their cars, serves them right! :smash: :headvswal :headvswal i own 3 cars and 2 trucks but i only can drive 1 at a time so why should i be fvkin made to keep them all taxed when ive only got 1 on the british highway at any one time,road tax for the upkeep of the roads is a great idea in theory but a load of boooollacks and all my cars and trucks are insured and mot,d and fvkin taxed excluding the zed till spring. this is not as simple as black and white iff you own more cars and trucks than 1 poxy zed so stop all shouting "crush em,crush em" why wont the fvkers put excise duty on fuel and we all pay as we go, ile tell you why because iff you only drive 2000-3000 miles ayear they would,nt get 20% of what they get off me for having 80% of my cars parked up at any one time :rant: :rant: :rant: twats all of em!!!!

Rich666 Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I think it's hilarious - if you avoid paying income tax your business should be closed down imeediately? If you buy a computer for home and run the vat through work your computer should be crushed? If you buy duty free booze it should be destroyed? No - but as soon as taxation is linked to a car it's the worst thingin the world not to pay it?? Having no tax may be a hint that you have no insurance or mot, but it's hardly a hard & fast rule!! More to the point, the insurance database tells the police within seconds whether a car's insured or not. As said above, it seems eveyone's been brainwashed to accept all tax related to cars.
