Untaxed vehicles

A vehicle doesn’t need to be seen on the road for an offence to have been committed. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) carry out a check of its records each month to identify untaxed vehicles. They have the authority to carry out enforcement action using the information held on their records.
As well as this, DVLA works in partnership with Redcorn, the police and local authorities in operating wheel clamping schemes. Using automatic number plate readers (ANPR) they identify, clamp and tow away untaxed vehicles on the public road.
If you don’t tax or SORN your vehicle you could be stopped by the police.
You’ll get an automatic penalty of £80, as well as paying for a new tax disc and any arrears of vehicle tax you owe.
Your vehicle could be clamped by one of DVLA's wheel clamping partners. You’ll need to pay to have your vehicle released as well as producing a valid tax disc or surety fee if no disc is available. If you fail to pay, your vehicle will be impounded, incurring storage charges. If you don’t pay the release or storage fees, your vehicle could be crushed or sold.

Uninsured vehicles
New powers allow the police to seize impound and crush any car found without insurance. A pilot scheme was introduced in Durham in spring 2006 since then, police have impounded more than 1.200 cars, and of those around half have been crushed. Supported by a new national database and A.N.P.R technology Redcorn can now identify and remove uninsured vehicles from your borough.
