DVLA swines.....

[Tonks4x4]

Here's one for you all to check out. It might have been covered already.

I have 2 customers cars in my care at the moment. Due to space issues I have a deal with the Land lord of the pub over the road that as it is private propperty I can park cars there.

This morning both of those customers cars have been clamped for not having a SORN decleration.

Car 1. Has been owned since June this year and had a current SORN declaration at the time of purchase. However when there is a change of ownership of the car you have to re SORN the car in the new owners name.

Car 2. The car was collected and delivered to me on Friday to have work carried out so that it able to be MOT'd then Tax'd. The owner has not even had the V5 back yet....

They have both been well and truely bent over and rammed real hard and very dry!!!

£260 each for the release fee......

It appears that the law has now changed from the 1st of October 2008 if the DVLA van happens to drive past your house and catch a glimpse of your classic audi in bits in the garage and there is no current SORN. They have the power to walk up your drive and clamp it in your shed. If the fine is not paid within 24 hours. They then have the right to come and remove the vehicle to a pound where it then gains more costs and can finally then be crushed.

So get looking through your cars and just make sure they are all tax'd or SORN'd..

It is apparent that it is not up to the DVLA to remind you that a car is not tax'd or SORN'd......

The Fckiung Bstaadrs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wtf! Can you argue this at all?

its regular on pubs.

all you need is a pikey license and you can lift non taxed cars and theres little comeback.

you gotta find the car first.

who questions a tow truck man in yellow vest.

had it done twice. once on my scirocco scala. sorn but not tax, left for a bit and lifted clean off floor. second time my old rover diesel. i tried for weeks to get someone to collect it and in the end it vanished.

best to always leave a note in the window or attach a large dog to the bumper with a rope long enoyugh to get to the doors and wheels

Car 1 owner has the post office slip from the previous owner valid to June 2010 but it was not for current owner so will not honour it....:corey::corey::corey:

They phoned the police who arrived in a riot van after I explained I would sling his fu**ing wheel clamp through the front window of the van and if it passed through his skull on the way past then so be it......

Police were very understanding and on my side however after making a few calls were amazed theirselves that this is the legislation.....

I had this when I bought a SORN'd car - I rang up the DVLA and asked them if i needed to do anything because it was SORN'd when i bought it - they said no, then when I came to tax it a few months later they told tell me I should have declared it SORN'd in my name and tried to charge me back dated tax on it - but i told them to **** off and wrote a letter complaining as i'd wrote down the name date and time of the retarded kid I spoke to originally. They backed down and I got sent a letter of apology........ so just goes to show not even the DVLA know what their own stupid laws are

Ahh the police state - isn't it great... real criminals swanning about untouched and honest joe gets it up the chin.

I just SORN'd my S2 at the weekend by some curious fluke.

Set of bunts! Just think what more serious laws have been snuck in by the incompetant power crazed loons in charge while none of us have been looking.

And careful if you ever do get clamped not to directly threaten the man-in-a-tabard as they are known to carry dictaphones or leave a mic open to their mothership (control centre) in order to collect evidence against you and to prove they were justified in calling the rozzers,cops,bobbies,peelers.

Stay Happy Everyone (in the perfect society were having created for us!:corey
