removing a dvla wheel clamp
Would it be wrong of me to say "well done DVLA"?
Personally, the sooner they stop taxing us on ownership of a car and put duty on fuel so we are taxed on use of the car, the better. That, obviously, depends on the bastards getting the right level, but all the increases are supposed to be "for the environment" and - as far as I know - having a car quietly rusting in the garage is doing very little environmental damage.

About the same as your rights would (should!) be if you break into my house without permission.
We pay a tax disc to be on the road. No tax disc = no property rights. That's how they can lift and remove illegally parked cars.

Like I said, if they get the level right it wouldn't be a problem.
At a stroke it stops all the horseshit about people not buying tax, or having to declare SORN.

it can easy be scrapped, nobody askes me for datils when i scrap em
it can be sold, when i buy a car i dont call the dvla to ask em if its wanted
once the new owner has it they wont follow it
personally i'd have had the car lifted then removed it nicely when i got home but either way the v5 would have been posted off a few weeks late to compensate, it sometimes takes me a month to do it as is
if you done say owt they wont have owt to get you on, silence is golden when its what you say that matters
reporting it stolen is a daft idea, they aint gonna go for that 1 bit
what car was it?, summet good i hope, if it was a L plate mondy i'd have left it there

thats not exactly true if the system was priced correctly,
if theyadded the price or road tax to the rough amount of fuel a car uses for 12000 miles which is the average, then imo it would work very well,
if youdrive 12000 miles a year, you would pay the same as you do now.
if you own a show car and drive 3000 miles a year maximum, why should you pay the same as a guy who drives 4 times as far?
Never gonna give you up!

Today in the street where I work, I saw a large white van with (DVLA wheel clamping) wrote on the side of van. The car got clamped, along with quite a few others.
They also went into a company car park and clamped someone in there... anyone know if they can do that? I mean it should be private land, shouldn't it?
Are there any other methods of car park management that don't involve wheel clampers and parking tickets?

Why can't people just accept they are in the wrong and pay up? I pay my road tax so should every other cunt.

Easy
Claim that the car has obviously been cloned, order yourself a new cheapy set of numberplates from ebay (obviously different design, maybe a GB badge or something) so when trying to show evidence of a photo, the plates look cloned
