Thousands of "new" vehicle owners caught out by tax disc changes

Posted by Gary RK on April 25, 2015 at 10:02am in Vehicles

Thousands of new vehicle owners are being caught out by tax disc loophole resulting in DVLA car clampings with £800 fines soaring in numbers because they don't know about the new rule changes:

  • DVLA abolished paper tax disc last autumn
  • Vehcile tax now automatically cancelled whenever vehicle changes ownership
  • Official figures show use of clamping soared from about 5,000 vehicles a month before the changes to well over 8,000 now
  • Critics say many targeted are innocent drivers unaware of rule change 

Thousands of motorists have been fined or had their vehiciles towed away after falling foul of new rules following the switch to digital tax discs. Many are buying used vehicles unaware that the old paper documents are now automatically cancelled when a vehicle changes hands and ignorant that they must fork out for a new digital one – even if the existing paper disc is months from expiry – rising numbers of drivers are falling prey to clampers.
