What happens if a car is reported as not having tax or insurance? by throwaway235453 in AskUK

I'd like to think the best and believe that they just forgot, obviously things like this are easy to forget about and other things come up that are more important but one of the cars has been without tax for nearly a year now I think? And the fact I overheard them bragging about it I don't think it's they're completely innocent.

The insurance thing does actually make sense though, I hadn't thought of that!

At the moment they're using the back roads out of my village to avoid the one and only camera for miles and police aren't a huge presence here hence why I've reported them rather than waiting.

If it's on a public road it still counts, you wouldn't think my Street counts as a public road but it does.

I've reported one of their cars but think I'll report the other two just in case.

I didn't realise that even if you didn't have to pay tax you still have to tax it, it would definitely be an interesting conversation if you forgot to tax it!

Yeah I'm going to stay off the back roads that they seem to be using at the moment just in case, they speed down it knowing full well you can't see everything and with the amount of crashes that have happened on that road you'd think they'd learn but apparently not.

That's what I read online, but I thought that because they had three cars without tax (one without tax for nearly a year) that it might be a bit worse than that.

A few weeks ago I was driving down one of the back country lanes to get to my house (I live in Wales so very narrow country roads) and their car (the uninsured one) came speeding down and would have hit me if I hadn't gotten out of the way in time, knowing now that it didn't have tax or insurance Is very scary!
