All too often these vehicles are not insured or MoT tested either. We are out to deter the evader with the threat of inconvenience, prosecution and large fines. We will not be penalising those whose licence discs have fallen off the windscreen or are a few days late renewing them.
Law abiding motorists have nothing to fear.
DVLA s mobile wheelclamping units will also be patrolling the streets throughout Humberside Police Force area seeking out vehicles that are not properly taxed. Before vehicles are clamped details will be checked with DVLA s national vehicle database. They also make a significant contribution to road safety. About a third of the reports arising from the campaigns involve other offences - including no MoT certificate, no insurance and defective tyres. Not having a current licence disc is illegal and could be expensive.
