I have only ventured about 1/4 mile from home today and have seen 4 clamped cars. I wondered why they were clamped as they were just outside peoples` houses and not on any yellow lines. I have just seen one on my road and it had a notice on the windscreen. Apparently, someone has been around and done a blitz on cars with no car tax. I guess the culprits will come home from work to an immobile car and a massive bill to get the clamps removed. I wonder if more people leave their vehicles untaxed these days because they think they will get away with it?

I am sure that there is an element of psychology here - because the tax status is no longer visible - no disc - people subconsciously imagine that no-one knows if their vehicle is taxed or not.

As these pilgrims have discovered to their cost - it's not quite that simple!
Although there is no disc in the window, I think that with number plate recognition software in many police cars, I think people are more likely to get caught these days.
it is a matter of when you get caught nowadays not if with NPR
Some of them are caught out by the fact that there isn't a visible reminder on the car of when the tax runs out.
Do you still get a reminder?
Yes
As long as you tell them when you move house.

You legally have to, but not everyone gets round to it.

Other people put brown envelopes asking for money in a drawer, and ignore them.
You can pay car tax monthly by DD which would stop you forgetting.
Four cars within a matter your 1/4 mile does seem a high number doesn't is 237SJ? If it represents the average across the country, thats a massive amount of uncollected car tax.
