this is pretty complex everton,if the police had any inclination that the car was being driven illegally they would have stopped him,my guess is that the police car that saw him wasnt traffic police,if they were they would have stopped him as the car registration would have flashed up on the on board computer that is fitted in ALL traffic police cars...make no doubt about it if the car is declared sorn it WOULD have alerted the police and he WOULD have been stopped.the vehicle is declared as being off the road,thus rendering any insurance null and void...if i were your mate i would get the local scrap merchants involved...and get it down to the breakers yard....on the back of a pick up....
