MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Whilst driving home last week i was tailgated by a crappy old astra convertable with a different colour wing etc ,
he was giving it the flashing of lights and weaving all over the road to try and get past me(30mph limit btw) and when he got past he gave me the finger etc.
anyway he pulled onto the same estate as me but i left it as id been at work all day and was pretty tired.
last nite whilst walking the mutt i came across his car parked up and noticed his tax has expired(jan 09) and the car has got pretty bold tires too.
now im not normally someone to grassing people up and all(what goes around comes around) put ive got the urge to dob this fellow in as he was behaving like a right tool.!!
what do you think??
do it its your duty, i did the same once
Do it.
Do it, they are a danger to other cyclists, road users and pedestrians
not being a tell-tale is a rule for school. messing with potentially dangerous, thieving arrogant turds is a rule for life.
Do it, just the sort who is a danger to cyclists
grass him. Although if you believe the DVLA their computers will have picked it up.....which I don't.
Without a dough...
no tax = no insurance
and the way he drives he WILL hit someone.
Do your duty.
Stop being such a fanny. You could 'tell his mum' - or you could go round and punch his lights out whilst reciting the appropriate sections of the highway code. 😉

I couldn't have put it better myself. I'd shop him without a thought.
im not a fanny mind!!!
he was a bit angry looking though....(hides behind keyboard)
the car has got pretty bold tires too.
when you walked past did they try to get fresh with you?
Just get on with it man, it's the right thing do do.
yup, drop him (in it) quicker than 3rd period french.
Deflate 2 tires, superglue in the valves.
Then shop him.
Send him dowwwwwwwwwwwn
I Concur with notaspoon.
If he was driving like a dickhead and i subsequently saw the vehicle i would be sorely tempted.
civic duty .. no tax no insurance no mot no road sense
imagine next week he crashes and kills someone do it NOW
Without a shadow of a doubt - get his heap emoved. And dont forget to inform the police that he was driving like a loon.
It might stop those tyres being so bold too!
[b]DO IT NOW!
STW surprisingly united this morning.....
I'd shop him, for all the reasons above
Is this 100% agreement from the STW massive? I think so....
The point is well made by Leku. My friend recently got totalled by some chav in an escort, who then drove off. He got the reg but it turns out he has no insurance etc etc which means my friend lost a lot of money and his no-claims.
I believe that there is an anonymous DVLA website where you can do your duty...
I would not hestitate...
Don't grass him up.
(actually do, I just thought I'd argue for the sake of it)
Yes you can do it online - just click [url= http://dvla.gov.uk/onlineservices/report_unlicensed.aspx?ext=dg ]grass him[/url]
I'd prefer to speak to the police rather than use that site to make sure he was properly [s]grassed[/s] reported.
Why sould we all pay tax and insurance and be within the law and some people think they are special. I would do. If he hasn't got any insurance (well it would be invalid without a valid road tax anyway I would think) then if he hits anyone then that person will not get any form of compensation at all!
Get it reported and stop being daft.
No tax, no insurance, badly maintained, poor driving. What do you want him to do, run over my kids on the way to school before you report him?
In fact put the reg here and we'll all grass him 😀
Do it. As others have said, no tax, no insurance, no MOT - probably a dangerous car. If he doesn't give a sh1t about this, it will be the thin end of the wedge and taking his car off the road for him probably won't stop him driving sans tax/ins/mot in the future but you can only control what you can control so on this occasion get him off the road.
Email ME the reg and where the car is and I'll grass him!
im going to do it later when i get home!!
i dont give a **** really as ive got kids too and i dont want them getting run over
Shop him, imagine how you'll feel if he kills someone because his tyres are bald!
what are the chances that he's watching this thread and getting a squad ready to come round and kick your chips in?
If they come round your house then report it on STW and a gang of bomber wielding beardy weirdos will singlespeed round to his house and own him.
Perhaps Brant can build a specfic bike for the task?
The Vigalante?
[i]what are the chances that he's watching this thread and getting a squad ready to come round and kick your chips in? [/i] fairly slim I would think.
Yep, as most have said. dob the ****er in. It's a blunt tool, but every bugger has to pay his car tax - usually, if there isn't any, it's because it hasn't got an MOT or insurance as you need to produce both to get the disc.
That's why the coppers are keen to catch people without tax - it's not to help the coffers of HMRC - it's because car tax dodgers also tend to be up to no good in general.
he's probably reading this right now whilst piggy-backing off someone elses unsecured router connection on a stolen laptop.
he's also on ebay for some cheap bombers....
Grass him!
Hopefully the car will get crushed.
Do it.
I have three cars for personal and work use, all taxed, MOT'd and insured.
I thought, turns out I missed a payment on the cheapest car to insure and had dismissed the following letters as junk mail.
Anyway I got done, 6 points £200 fine and a vehicle recovery fee. Hands up it's a fair cop and all that.
But on the corner of my street is a badly damaged probably dumped Celica with 2008 road tax. Six days ago someone crashed into it during the night as I said it's badly parked.
What boils my * is it's still there. Now with smashed windows. My car gets taken away there and then, and I stump up cash all round. Is that still there coz there's no money in it?
So *ing do it.
I recall that a few years ago, in the Northeast I think, some **** in an old escort lost control on a junction, mounted the kerb and pinned two children and their mother against a house wall, killing all of them. He had bald front tyres.
Stop farting around and report him NOW!!!
Most Police areas now have an anonymous web reporting facility, if you're worried about it. Alternatively, the DVLA will simply come out and seize it themselves.
Just to put some balance into this whole situation, and reassure everyone that people do sometimes make an "honest" mistake (I've been late for paying my car tax before because I forgot to!) by missing their car tax renewal date.
That said, if it's 2 months out (not 2 weeks), he's driving around like a tit, and the car is in a very poor state of repair with bad tyres, then all probability points to the fact it is being driven around totally illegally, and with probably no MOT and insurance (possibly even the driver has no license!) and therefore he is a menace to anyone else on the road.
Remember, it's all too easy to penalise the law abiding citizens amongst us that make a small mistake on occasion such as paying their car tax late, or doing 35mph in a 30 zone, as we get issued with an automatic fine etc. For those who just don't care, and register cars at false addresses, or don't register them at all, drive around with no MOT/Tax/insurance or even a license, you've actually got to physically catch them in the act in order to be able to do something about it. And seeing as road policing is going down the route of even less policemen on the road, and more and more cameras, they're literally encouraging those who have no regards to the law to carry on doing so!
FWIW, in this case, unpaid tax on the car is not what I'd be reporting him for. I'd be reporting him for driving threateningly/dangerously and having illegal tyres on the vehicle. Let the coppers discover its got no tax either!
If its not taxed then probably not insured. Idiot if he can afford the fuel he can the tax and insurance.
He gave you the thinger.
Ignore him or revenge/good citizen?
Make your own choice!
Deffo report it.
Then take your mutt for a walk,& when he dumps his load of 'dog toffee'on the pavement next to the car,& you pooper scoop it,just dispose of it through the raggedy hole in the cars fabric roof....
Shop him, easy. DVLA, Police, Crimestoppers, or get his details here. I'll talk to the uniforms happily.
Do it. Especially considering he gave you the thinger. Whatever that is.
Bit sneaky and cowardly isn't it? I mean, come on, does anyone really believe you left it because you'd had a hard day at work?
I can't talk though. I pulled over to let someone who lives around the corner past, and instead of the usual hand up to say thanks, he just decided to stare into my car, giving me a hardman look like I was some kind of a c**t. Instead of confronting him I've spent the past two weeks spitting and pissing on his car on the way out of my close while on my early morning ride.
