Hi, Does anyone know the number or website that you can report uninsured vehicles to as there's been a car on my street now for months, it stays there most days then comes back, I keep seeing the driver but he gets picked up by someone else.
I've checked the reg on the ASKMID database and it's coming up "Uninsured"
There is other people on my street that are also starting to complain as he keeps parking infront of peoples houses and causing parking problems.
Thanks

There seem to be a lot of people on here on the side of uninsured drivers,
why are you trying to turn the thread into an argument? I'm only asking on how to report an uninsured driver, the only reason I'm asking this is he doesnt live on the street and the car is a scap heap and looks like it wont have an MOT let alone insurance.
If i ring the police and it's insured then he's nothing to worry about.
You wouldn't be saying that if an uninsured driver smashed into your car and drove off
It is an offence to drag up a 7 and a half year old thread
But not being insured - is not acceptable! You can ring your local police non emergency number.
Linky?
i'll have to double check, but im certain responsibilty passed from police to the council. unless thats a scotland thing. or maybe it passed the other way?
What problems does he cause, and what does he say when you tell him about these problems?

my ex used to get grief of a neighbour for parking outside her house - she had no drive, a layby for parking outside her house = anyone can park there.
ths car itself needs to be insured to park on a public road,
well in that case I'm going to ring and check because it's a public road, thanks

cost me £3.50:)
Yeah exactly what i was thinking here
good, just checking, dont want to get yourself in trouble over something so trivial
deffo report it, they are my biggest bugbear, thats why were paying such high premiums.
its not set in stone that its uninsured as a member has already pointed out they are insured but comes up not - it cann happen, my point was more toeards them being in the right to park where they like IF all is legal
I wonder how many people have used it for free tho :whistling:
a lot
do people not get upset when a strange car is left parked outside their house? especially if its an eyesore?
maybe people are more tolerant than myself and OP.
I don't know that, but If i report it to the police then it's upto them to check this.
I'm only "Suspecting" he's got no insurance here, ASKMID is telling me the vehicle is uninsured, the vehicle is a 1990 ford fiesta and looks like a scrap heap, does trade insurance cover any car or do you have state each vehicle you drive?
oh it's being driven, but no set time of the day, one day it will stay parked others it's gone for a few hours and then back again.

"In future, it will be an offence not only to drive without insurance, but also to keep an uninsured car. The new offence will attract a penalty of up to £1,000, with the possibility of court action to seize the vehicle."
There's lots of jobless council house living criminals on here.
:w00t:
As for the insurance, I have a scrappage business and a am insured to drive any road legal vehicle.
I really dont think the police will sit on your street just to see if the person who eventually gets in the car and drives away has insurance, they will tell you to contact the council when the tax runs out if it is still on the public highway.
As a footnote, it is increasingly difficult to drive an uninsured / untaxed/ no MOT car on the road, virtually every police car on the road now has number plate recognition system on board, and it goes off like crazy whenever a suspect car is nearby. I should know, I take SORN cars for MOT's (legally) every day, and get pulled at a regular frequency.
:roll:
However, just because it appears on MID doesn't mean that it is not insured, and vice versa. It could just not be in there for whatever reason, or, as people have pointed out, he could be driving it on trade insurance or using DOC cover.
Just to add, you can park anywhere you like on a road unless there are restrictions, you do not have the right to park outside your house, anyone can park there.
