Community update: Untaxed Vehicles

Community update: Untaxed Vehicles

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Road safety and road traffic offences including speeding, driving uninsured tax, using mobile phone no seatbelt whilst driving or Drink/drug driving, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Local Neighbourhood Officers recently removed an untaxed vehicle from Lower Farm Road. In addition, three other vehicles were identified as having no valid vehicle tax and have been reported to the DVLA for enforcement action.

While officers can report untaxed vehicles, we are unable to arrange removal unless a vehicle has been untaxed for at least 61 days. However, the registered keepers of the reported vehicles may still receive a DVLA fine or other enforcement action for failing to tax their vehicles.

We will continue to monitor the Lower Farm Road area and take enforcement action where possible to help address concerns and keep the neighbourhood safe and tidy.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at www.northants.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
