To report 2 untaxed cars in my close?

[FrigginPissedOff]

Feel a bit nasty doing it but they are taking up 2 parking bays in our close which is literally overrun with cars/mahoosive builders vans (due to knobhead across the road having 2 big vans, a smaller van and 2 cars parked here). No one has their own parking space, there are some bays and the rest is on street parking.

One car is badly damaged and the tax ran out in March, the other is also damaged and the tax ran out in June. I have no idea who they belong to and we are having to park in the next street most days and lug baby and shopping home.

We really struggle to pay our tax when it's due but always do and on time so why should these buggers get away with it? The cars look like they have been dumped anyway as they have not been moved in that time.

Shall I?

If they haven't been moved for ages they are probably stolen/abandoned. If they are being driven without tax, they probably aren't MOT'd and insured either. If they are not on a public road and a SORN, no harm done.

In all cases, reporting them seems like the best option.

Go for it, but be warned the council may well just come and clamp them and leave them cluttering up the place for another few months (there's a few in my local streets).

Personally I can't get a new tax disc atm as now you can't renew unless the DVLA database shows a valid MOT, and at the MOT we needed a new part, and the part hasn't come in yet... so if the DVLA come clamp us I would be furious, but they only seem to do cars that are 3 months or more out of date.

It depends how busy I was

I would report. A disc a few days out of date I wpuld give them the benefit of the doubt but March and June?

tbh i wouldn't even know if the cars in my cul-de-sac where taxed or not.

Yes report them, i would

Yes report them - if they are dumped it'll take them ages to take the cars away anyway (has happened here a couple of times...)

No YANBU.
