Now do not try telling the police that a vehicle does not have motor insurance, because you checked it online. The police will just start warning you about data protection.
Try telling the police via 101 that a vehicle does not have road tax and is on the public highway and they do not want to know. They will just refer you to the DVLA
Try telling the police via 101 that a vehicle on the public highway has no MOT. Nothing to do with the police that is local council responsibility for abandoned vehicles. Try telling the police that it is government guidelines that vehicles without a MOT (which requires one) should be reported via 101 and that you want a reference number of the report be prepared for a phone call from the police warning you off about misuse of MID, lack of police numbers etc etc. Now that vehicle MIGHT get caught by a mobile ANPR! As for the local PCC???
