THERE IS NO GRACE!!

The DVLA can now seize the vehicle if it is parked/driven on a road with no tax. There are alot of DVLA enforcers now, it can also be enforced by the Police on behalf of the DVLA.

I wouldn't risk having ur car taken from u mate, i've used this power countless times on people takin the piss (Over a month), but it can be taken the first day into the month.

I bought a bike last year that hadn't been taxed since about 2000....wasn't declared SORN and the owners never had anything through about it - odd!

I wouldn't risk more than a week or so though.

when I bought my valver the kid had been driving for a few months with no tax, not sorn'd and never got busted, depends where you park really

I've just taxed my silver clio 3 weeks late cuz it was broken and just sat on my drive, no probs there either!!

Its an automatic process now though, dont' know how long it takes to issue the fine, even if its scrapped, still ahve to declair it sorn or scrapped or you'll get fined
