eight years in theory, a newby in practice!!!
This morning I drove my car into Home Bargains car park in Shrewsbury. I noticed that there was a Swift Mh parked which had all it's blinds closed. I thought to myself, surely it's not been there all night?
I drove round the car park and noticed that it had a huge yellow clamp on the front driver's side wheel, on it was written DVLA and on the windscreen was an 18 x 18 inch sticker with the words, 'Untaxed Vehicle'.
We came out of the shop 40 minutes later, the clamp was gone and the driver was struggling to get the sticker off. :whistle2:

the DVLA are doing home visits?
I've seen their transit van driving around that car park twice before and dealing with untaxed vehicles. I've also seen them visiting a neighbour and checking all 3 of his vehicles for red diesel. It was no secret locally that he was using it :whistle2:

The only time i used red diesel was in our old transit camper, when i ran out, driving across the camargue, a woman on a farm nearby was kind enough to go and get a litre bottle full of red to get us to the nearest garage. She wouldn't take any money either.
