New "Red" V5C

[Biohazard]

Ah.

Well thats crap.

A lot of yards round here are not keen or don't take them unless the cars complete.

I hate this ****.

If you broke the car yourself you used to have a tickbox so you could send the V5 in yourself and declare it scrapped. Now you have to take the car to a registered scrapper so they can put it through the system.

So now we'd have to declare it exported?

 

[Lopéz]

No, you have to pass it to a dismantler to get a certificate of destruction.

Or SORN it every year until you die

 

[BigglesPiP]

I'm going to register it to David Cameron.

So how are you supposed to prove ownership now, even though the old one wasnt proof it sufficed, now many people with have nothing.

The same way we always have done, with a receipt. The V5c has never been proof of ownership.

Exactly. I don't know why people are having such a hard time understanding that nothing has changed, the V5C has never been proof of ownership - the DVLA have simply made it more obvious.

The old V5C did not "suffice" when it comes to proving ownership and neither does the new one. If you thought it sufficed then that's your problem nobody elses.

 

[Slime101]

The old one did suffice for 99% of the population, you will also find many people dont keep receipts even for important things like a car.

Lol, pretty much. Or "sell" it to a bogus name and address

If it sufficed for them then, it should suffice for them now. Given that nothing has changed.

I don't have the receipt of my car!

In my case the V5C is the *only* thing that shows the car to be mine...

I believe you're actually referring to my car there.

Funny... not.

I got a new car a little while ago, must have been pretty soon after they introduced them... I **** myself when I opened it, seeing it was bright red and had "EUROPEAN COMMUNITY" on the front I thought I had accidentally bought an import or something!
