To report this car?

I live in an awkward shaped street. One of my neighbours is very selfish with her driving/parking. She flies round the corners when coming and going and just abandons her car across the pavement. There would be enough parking for everyone if she parked properly but she often takes up a couple of spaces due to the silly ways she leaves her car.

Anyway, this car has now been without a valid MOT for a week. She drives around with her young son in it all of the time.

AIBU to report her car for having no MOT with the hope that she'll get a fine and maybe decide to shape up a little bit?
I don't want to cause issues for myself as I live alone and she's quite the nuisance as it is so I don't want to give the police my details but also don't think crime stoppers would be much use.

Yes and like stated above, she is not someone who likes to be asked to sort something out.

Yes I have checked online and it has already expired.

Have you considered having a conversation like an adult?

Yes we have all asked her, she isn't someone to happily take advice.

I do care about her son actually, I know there is an on going issue regarding her care for him so this is yet another example of her putting him in danger.

Wow. Haven't you got anything better to do than look up the MOT records of your neighbours? Fuck me. I thought my neighbour was a curtain twitcher.

Have you considered asking her to park more courteously?

Its really none of your business and you do t care about her son, that’s your excuse for making yourself feel better about reporting her.

Just go and speak to her.

Can’t stand a grass.

How do you know she doesn’t have an MOT? I thought you could only find out if you checked online.

I reported a car to Crimestoppers and it got sorted out.
