They do that every month - I got done some months ago and was on a business trip abroad and they were so inflexible. I pointed out to them that what they should be doing is doing something about the hundreds of unlicensed, untaxed, uninsured mini-cabs that tout around central london at night rather than clamping folks who forget to renew their tax disc!!


A 200 quid release fee and a further 82 pound fine is a nice little earner for them and an expensive lesson for me! ;-)

Profitable sledge-hammer to crush wrong nuts me thinks!


According to the guy at DVLA I spoke to they do not send reminders anymore - it's your responsibility to do tax discs it. Funny how that stopped at the same time they started clamping people!!!


Interesting that despite the extra vigilence on the wild, dangerous streets of East Dulwich you still get pestered by unlicensed cabs in the wee hours of the night in central London!!! ;-) Two more cars done on my street - lucky buggers - two weeks of not getting round to something is an expensive business nowadays and if you don't pay the fine in three days they lift your car and crush it - MOT and insurance or not!!


It's funny how many of these dangerous untaxed drivers seem to drive the smarter cars in the neighborhood!


Apparently they note down the date of expiry of cars on the street and return to the area if it is going to profitable!


You have been warned!!

In an ED street where parking is always a pain & at times actually impossible (any time after 20.00 it's next street at best, sometimes even further away!) So from this angle I really don't have a problem with fines for illegal cars & removal of dumped ones.

However the chaps doing so do sometimes behave with little or no Common Sense.

I am aware of a Mother receiving a ticket for double parking, while actually in the process of lifting her child out of the back seat!

Pay peanuts, get Monkeys. I guess.

    • Hi does anyone have a Hotwheels track (ideally which packs away neatly like the fuel can or transporter one) they've been itching to get rid of please? Needed urgently for an emergency birthday present!    Thanks! 
    • Glad to hear that the cops are taking crash for cash seriously.  The situation I am aware of the driver called the police, reported it separately as dangerous motorcycling, avoided all calls from 'ambulance chasers' and subsequently got a letter from the police saying it was an unregistered rider/uninsured rider.  It was reluctantly reported to their insurers who actually did not put up the premium which was a nice surprise. So as stressful as it may be just hold firm, deny everything, take down details and report to the police.
    • Hi I am looking to join some local businesses networking events and wondering if anyone can recommend any. I know there used to be one (Cooking with Scissors) but that’s not running any more. Thanks.
    • Eats Dulwich has just reviewed Arapina, including its hot chocolate!  I assume they read the original first and  very long post on this thread before almost all of it was removed. Interesting to have another opinion!
