Reporting car with no MOT

[furryelephant]

If someone's you know (but hate ) car MOT was over a month expired and they were going to be doing a 4 hour journey, what would you do?

I'd mind my own business

Depends. What are you hoping to gain by reporting them?

That's fair enough someone told me today that by knowing and not reporting it I could get in trouble for "letting" them drive illegally

How would anyone even know?

Of course you can't be charged with knowing about something like that! Who would even know you knew?

We forgot to mot our vehicle recently. It's done now but was a few weeks out of date beforehand. You need to give a bit more information. How do you know? Are they planning on getting it tested.

I'm not planning on reporting them and don't think I'd have enough details to actually do so (where it is etc) I was just made to feel earlier like I should have done when I found out

Who made you feel like that?

I'd checked the reg online, I'd been given many reasons in the past to doubt that anything they'd done regarding their car was done "properly" if that makes any sense, without giving too much information. And I'm a really nosy fucker who wanted another reason to bitch about them in my head

I've got no idea if they're planning on getting it tested or whether they're even aware it's expired. It's not someone that I will make any effort to speak to unless absolutely necessary which is why I haven't said anything to them.

It was a parent- who insisted that by reporting them they'd lose their license

I feel more reassured that I'm not the only one who wouldn't have reported it!

Don't the DVLA know anyway? Don't their computers tell them?

I've got no idea it does seem pretty silly if it can expire with no remnants of food before him
