      So let’s all just be a bit more Blaise about taxing our vehicles, when dvla turn up, run indoors tax it and job done. Moral of this story ! Justification: I’m a law abider !! Tell you something, minute the roads are in disrepair, you’s lot will be first to comment and make another video ! And before we go on to the other subject that tax does not entirely go on roads, yes we know it goes everywhere else inc. nhs

      He was held ransom on a private car park...legally mind you... The car park's owner could have charged him whatever he felt charging...legally... And hold his vehicle as collateral until full payment has been received... legally. This tantrum toddler should be glad he met a very nice and mellow guy and not me (for instance)...I would have had him pay up big time... possibly 5 years of road tax worth...and some fees to let him leave (open gates , taking time from the CEO and such like)

    I was once parked at a Birmingham Council car park, I knew I was running out of time, about 4 mins left on my 2 hour parking ticket. So I wanted to extend it using the phone app but I couldn't get reception on either of my phones. When I finally managed to get a signal I extended it by 2 hours.
    Carried on shopping like normal. About an hour later when all is done, I'm back at the car and there's a ticket there. I go home and check the times and actually I had beaten them by about 4 mins. So whilst the system may not have updated the paperwork and the details on my phone app showed he had issued the ticket after I had extended the time.
    Of course the council apologised and said I don't have to pay any fine.

    Your car does not need to be taxed to be parked on private land, he was trespassing, your car was clamped illegally.

Did it immediately online and then called DVLA because there was back tax to pay and asked why it hadn’t auto renewed, they said because the MOT was ‘due’ to run out (not had run out) and they wouldn’t tax a car without a MOT. My MOT was carried out on time, however the DVLA said they don’t check this afterwards but should have written to me, I didn’t receive any letter so could easily have found myself in the same situation.

    I used to park behind my flat, It was in a car park for the shops loading in and other flats in the run of above the shops. 1 day I woke up to find a clamp on my car. they had just 'privatised' the car park. there was a guy clamping other cars too. No warning had been given that the car park was going to start charging. I explained this to the clamper, had no idea the car park was going to be charging. So i got out my hack saw and started sawing thru the clamp. Clamper called the police, one arrived, very quickly, and said to the clamper it's not criminal damage until I had cut right thru the clamp. Spluttering clamper removed the damaged clamp. I told him I would just cut it off if I was ever clamped again. I parked there for free for the next 6 months.

      "Renewing your vehicle tax
      ."
      "Your vehicle tax will renew automatically when it’s due to run out.
      You’ll get an email or letter telling you when your Direct Debit payments will be taken."

    nothing to feel guilty for re not paying your tax. a similar thing happened to me 3 years ago, taxed it on-line with the promise of auto-renew every year. 13 months later got a letter from DVLA saying i had been fined £60 for neither renewing or declaring a sorn. i checked back and found that indeed my tax had not been taken from my account the previous month. i re-taxed it straight away, it had been parked on the road and driven over the course of the untaxed period so i guess i was lucky. wrote back disputing the fine as i had complied with all of their conditions and it was therefore their fault for not collecting the tax as stated they would. two weeks later got a letter back saying that " under the circumstances, no further action will be taken"

They simply don't have the time or resources to deal with everything. The result? People like this start to realise they can do/say anything they like with zero consequences. You should ALWAYS press charges if you're able to do so, it's literally the only way they will learn to change their behaviour, and you'll be helping to solve some future dispute/arguement before its even caused by the individual in question.
