Untaxed vehicles on the road?

The V8 man · Jun 6, 2013

I know you cant keep an untaxed vehicle on a public road but im presuming if its on a trailer its legal, so whats the score do the wheels just have to be off the road, if for instance you put a brick under each wheel is that off the road lol ? im just curious how the law covers this ?

Has to be stored on private land. Can be transported on public road on a trailer. With breaks upto 4 hours before its considered stored.
Most car parks are considered private property!

if it's on a trailer then it's legal. As to the bricks Fook knows I do know taht as a youth taking my bike to the fields We used to put the backwheel on a little dolly we made up. this let us push if ok and because the driven wheel was off the floor meant they couldn't do anything about the fact it had no tax, insurance or Mot.

but that was over 35years ago.

We just rode there, the police half heartedly tied to chase if they saw us but we had so many short cuts and byways they never stood a chance

Seemed really odd going from the 500cc B33 I'd ridden for 2 years to a moped when I reached 16

they have a nasty habit of puttin a circular road around the housing estates in Hull. all plod had to do was circle the road until he saw ya trying to get across it. They also had a pair of plod on xt500's that would chase us offroad. and a rangie if it got serious.

Though we once thrashed the front of the rangey when he drove it head on into a small drainage ditch when he was chasing us.

I had my series on a deadend road, 3 houses from the end, with one wheel off and on a substational axle stand.

Police called round and said if i ddin't move it to my drive they would remove it for me

Apparently it was "dangerous"

Actually, it was worse, they rung me (number from neighbour) while i was in London working and were expecting me to move it right that minute... I asked him how the f**k he expected me to do that when i was in London... I think he was just a c**k tbh.

(I did also ask if they could remove it for me to my drive... that didn't go down well either

)

Fook me. there's a dodge van on a steep slope outside the back of an house in stroud with no wheels at all on. back axle is on 2 concrete blocks front is on 6 to keep it level the stack of blocks are leaning forwards and all it's waiting for is gravity to do the inevitable. :eek and it'll kill anyone in front of it when it goes.

Reckon one of my snotty neighbours complained to the cops bout mine... there was nothing wrong or un safe about it at all - flat road, no traffic.

That van sounds like a deaf trap :s
