Unroadworthy cars - who is responsible?
Who is responsible for cars that are unroadworthy and that are being driven on the roads, plus the licence plate on the car did not match that of the tax disc (I thought that was a criminal offence in any event)? is it the police or the Council?

It's the police you want, hope it's not your Mother-in-law!

Well, I did actually point out to a policeman and nothing was done, and unfortunately we do not have visible traffic wardens.... and no its not the mother in law!

Try ringing the police at Hertford - 01992 533000 - your call will be registered so they should not ignore you. Let us know how you get on.

If the reg on the tax disc does not match that on the plate then at the very least it is fraudulent use of a tax disc (or even handling stolen goods) or the car could very well be stolen.

You could try the Herts website under 'waste disposal'. I had a car removed from near my house as it was untaxed and in an unroadworthy state. You just need to send an email to the council with the car's details such as number plate, location etc. If the car is legally taxed they are not interested apparently.
