Abandoned Car

[Trackman]

I own a couple of spaces on a private carpark (Not for public use) A car has been left there for a couple of months what actioon can i take to remove it.? I have posted a notice on it.
Can i have it scrapped or just tow it to the road and wait for the Police to move it as it is not taxed?

Have you informed the police?

I'd just put it on the road, to be honest - and then tell the dvla about an untaxed car parked on the highway.

Dont move it onto the highway,as for one thing you will be guilty of tipping. Also consider that if the owner was aware that you had moved it he may sue you for any damage caused.Also if you moved it onto the highway you could possibly be guilty of using a motor vehicle with no insurance/mot/tax etc

If it's on private land you will have to pay the Council to tow it away. I'd notify the police that it has been abandoned They should then liaise with your local council who will get it towed away.
