Untaxed Cars

MrReliable:
Every time I look at this website and read some of the threads on here I actually wonder what people are on !

You couldn’t make some of this (zb) up :open_mouth:

It’s what happens when you spend too much of your life in drivers rooms of RDC’S maybe :laughing:

This isn’t the posters first posts.

This isn’t the first time this exact scenario has been discussed on these boards.

I hope this helps.

Yes it did, thank you :laughing:

WHO:
So, came home Friday afternoon to find a dark blue Toyota Carina parked on my drive-way down the side of my house :open_mouth:

Closer inspection revealed that it was tax-less and had been since the end of last year.

Now my own car tax had run out at the end of February this year, but as I pretty much have free use of the wagon I haven’t bothered to re-insure and renew the tax on my car and have properly declared SORN to the DVLA at this address where my car is registered. No problem there then, but seemingly because my car is sitting here tax-less then it’s a free haven and dumping ground for others to dump their tax-less (and no doubt insurance-less) motors on my patch too :imp:

I get on well with the Asian family next door to me in the non-adjoining house and am appreciative of them putting my wheelie bin out for me with theirs through the week when I’m away etc, so I asked them if they knew whose motor it was. The guy said it might be something to do with the guy living in the house backing onto my own.

Anyway, later this evening there’s a knocking at the door and it’s said guy. He told me it was his car and it would only be there for two weeks as he “couldn’t park it on the road because the tax has run out”.

I pointed out to him that the drive-way belonged to my property and not his which I had specifically made a point of clarifying with the landlady before I took on the tenancy of the property. He said that instead, he would park his car where mine is and I could park in front of him so that if I needed to go out in my own car then I wouldn’t need to get him to move his.

I thought this was pretty damned cheeky and yet again reminded him that it was private property belonging to my house and was not available for anyone else to park their vehicles on it. He didn’t seem to grasp the idea.

I was at a loss of what to do next as I try to get on with folks and really didn’t want to fall out about it so I agreed that as I didn’t foresee myself wanting to move my own car in the next two weeks that he could park there for the maximum two weeks that he said he needed only. Thereafter I wanted it off my drive-way.

I’m immediately regretting agreeing to this as I know that two weeks down the line it will still be there, tax-less and he still won’t have any intention of moving it and it will be a case of, “just give me two more weeks”, which, in my experience, will still be there after that time too.

I know if it came to the crunch I could probably bell the fuzz up about “illegal dumping on my property” etc to which they would typically reply, “it’s a civil matter, sir”, but I don’t want to resort to this.

Suggestions welcome, cheers. :cry:

I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about.

Right awoke this morning and car has been removed result :smiley:

I suggested lots of things in 2004. Unfortunately, my ex didn’t jump under a bus.
My former employer didn’t go ■■■■ himself. Life’s a ■■■■■ eh? :wink:

should have been a clue when you looked at when he joined the site, theres enough nutters on here, most of them were on the Pyramid Transport thread showing their colours then!!

Yep, exactly what I was alluding to in my earlier post. Word for word the exact same scenario from 27th March 2004. What are the odds it would happen to two people 7 years, 8 months and 27 days apart, and they would both post it on here. Amazing eh? :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:
