A colleague has been stopped for no MOT or tax.
She has been off work with depression and overlooked it by a couple of days, she has never been in trouble before. The time was 13 00hours on Monday.
Do the police have a list of cars to look out for when this happens ?

The police now have ANPR ( automatic numberplate recognition) cameras which are linked to the DVLA and insurance database and flags any infringements of the law as you drive past them.

ummmm

All cars that are taxed and MOT'd will be on a database. All the police have to do is put in the reg number.

See you may trust Big Brother. They can get in touch with you if you are a day or so late with a tax; but finding the bad guys who know what to hide from the cameras, well that's not so easy.

Apparantly so Geezer, best bit was they said to her twice, 'thanks for stopping' what else would she have done, zoomed away in a built up area ?
