OK so basically somebody I know is driving around with no tax (expired 31/07) so not even within 5 days grace period for buying online.

I have reported him to DVLA with his name, vehicle reg, make, model, address and where he parks his car (Home address & work address).

What I want to know is how likely are they to investigate & how long would they take to do so.

Any help would be great, I've already reported so thats not the issue.

Not going to say how I know them so don't bother asking, and for those that think I'm posting because I think I've been reported I can assure you that it isn't me,I'm not that stupid.
 
So Someone owes some road tax...how does this effect you. Yes fair enough they should get it sorted but if its none of your business then why would you report them. Seems like title-tatting to me :/

They will get caught sooner or later, leave it to the system...
 
If he's always doing it then damn right, we pay our road tax because we have to, anyone properly dodging should be reported. I can imagine he'll be receiving the fine through the post tbh
 
So by reporting him it means he should learn the hard way quicker, as said constantly drives with no tax, generally no MoT either and usually no insurance.
 
Just sounds a little odd that given what you have said, no ANPR etc has got him yet. Agree with the reference to Insurance though. I see cars without tax from time to time but have never felt compelled to report them.

However it is not just some random car that I have seen,I wouldn't bother about that, it's because it is somebody I know and it annoys me that he seems to always get away with it.

I think the reason ANPR hasn't got him yet is because where he lives and works the police very rarely patrol because they don't really need to as it's so quiet

After reading the comments on the insurance etc I would be inclined to inform the Police if you feel strongly enough about reporting him.
 
Lack of road tax isn't technically a police matter....don't waste their time. Of course lack of insurance is.

try the ASKMID website....

no tax = no insurance = everyones problem.

Having no tax could invalidate their insurance - well providing they have some that is.

After checking my insurance documents and IIRC Tax is not a requirement for Insurance though if there is no insurance then its impossible to get any tax so either way not looking good :/

not a police matter at all, went to police station about it and they said it was down to the DVLA to deal with, however I can't prove he has no insurance (I don't trust ASKMID tbh, said I had no insurance 4 months after I bought policy, cue me worrying and double checking with my insurance company) and until I can prove it I'm not reporting it. However tax can be proven easily.

Just confirming what you've said, no Tax is not a requirement for insurance, however insurance is a requirement for tax.
