Its a car I have bought as a right off I need to put a headlight and bumper on it get it VIC tested moted then I can use or sell it. I thought our cul de sac car parc was private so put it in there while I do the work and noticed this morning its got a police aware sticker on it.
What do I have to do to stop it getting towed

Hide it.

Rip the sticker off it?

Rick Astley

Move it off the road.

I presume its missing insurance and M.O.T and is in otherwise an unroadworthy condition.

fuzzy

do you pay to maintain the road? if not then its not a private road.

fuzzy

id say thats a fair presumption since he states it has no headlight, bumper, needs a vic test and an mot.

Suggest ringing the police and talking to them about it or chances are they will arrange for someone to come tow it pretty soon!!!

fuzzy

and id guess an neighbour has complained to draw attention to the vehicle as they dont like an abondoned car in the road.

Rick Astley

I'm amazing aren't I... Your jealous aren't you?

fuzzy

its uncanny...almost like a 6th sense.

Trist

Ok so its not a private road but its my parking space in the car park?? there are some moaning old biddies round here so more than likely one has reported it.
I have tucked the front in to a hedge lol so ou cant see its damaged, just a different car that people are not used to and not moved for a week
will get on to the police

marky_g

i'd call the local old bill mate and get it off the road

Rick Astley

Just put the sticker on someone elses car and let them worry about the sticker. Meanwhile bananaman can carry on saving the world.

If its parked on public roads mate then the police have every right in lifting it. The only time they cant touch you is if the car is on your driveway or locked up in a garage matey

1.9 xr2 on 40's

put a sign in saying do not remove
if its a counsil type carpark they give u 7 days to remove it (notice stuck to car)
i hid 4 cars at a mates carpark and 1 day they all got stickered :blub: i rescued the mk1 xr2 but the rest went for scrap

fuzzy

the fact it wont have tax or mot or likely insurance means when they come back they will lift it regardless of whether you put a note on or not. im surprised the dvla havent been around already to clamp it.

Trist

Its my designated parking space that is printed in our house deeds. its not on road or anwhere near, its in a car park round the side od a cul de sac?
I just dug the paper work out with survey from when we bought the house to check and its my space??

fuzzy

it sounds like it is private ground then. tell them to fook off.

Rick Astley

But, has the road that leads to it been adopted by the council yet?

furqall

i have a designated space with my flat but if any motor in it is not taxed they can still sticker it then tow it away.

even though its your space there is public access to it so they can still remove it, ive had this problem many times with my council.

and mines on a so called private estate.

wirralphil

call the A-Team. They will lit the car out no bother. They would even fuck the police over.

Cops are on everyones case at the moment. 100+ cars had been stopped this weekend in Southall on South Road with most of them being towed. They had a massive car carrier and were just towing them away if something didn't check out. 2 on my own road got towed away on Sunday.

thats going to go missing if you don't move it soon!

they do it on the uxridge road outside the texaco as you get to the iron bridge too mate

that's just an easy way to get untaxed/uninsured vehicles off the road so they can "clean up crime"

once the transporter gets filled up they go home

Trist

Hopefully its still here tonight after work i am going to move it to save any argueing

Pardeep

I know but this weekend they did the job properly. South Road was fucked mate!

dojj

iTrader: (3)

south road is normally fucked mate, how much more fucked than normal was it then

for those of you who have never been to southall, don't come at the weekends, it'll take you a day to get in and a day to get out, crawling on your hands and knees is faster, really it is

and don't come during the day either

your best bet is to come at around 3am, when the shops are starting to close, but you'll still be able to get some grub

Pardeep

PMSL. Also be prepared to put up with under 15 year olds to start a fight with you as well and call you Bruv and 'Init Man' little bastards. Since that incident with that somalian guy nicking my phone, i want those little 2Pac wanna be's shot to hell!!!
