What are the chances that an untaxed vehicle also has more than 20 unpaid parking tickets? Pretty good, I would say.

Is this your Porsche 911? Maybe pay your parking tickets once in a while.

I am currently on the phone with someone who is trying to argue that because THIS was in a pay-and-display bay, that it should not have been towed.
What do we think?

"Tricks" people play to avoid getting a parking ticket:
1. Leave an old PCN on the screen and pretend it's from today
2. Take the plates off the car
3. Obscure the VIN

Lifted 21 things from the housing estate. Mostly cars, some motorbikes. And two of these trailers.
Got called a "bitch" which was lovely. Still, a good job.

Very quick morning: in and out in an hour and a half. Removed 8 vehicles this time, issued 4 PCNs, and reported the misuse of 3 trade plates to the DVLA. The guys in this area know me by name at this point.

Total vehicles lifted today: 20. This does not include the man who showed up at the last minute and grudgingly agreed to sort out his MOT and tax and the lady who needed help pushing her car onto her drive to get it off the road.

Weirdly, this is the second time we've towed this same car. Time for further enforcement work in this case.

Park illegally, get a parking ticket. Get double digits of unpaid parking tickets, and your car goes to the pound.

This one has no engine and the back is full of rubbish. The owner wants me to leave it alone because it has tax and MOT. Sadly, the MOT is not valid when the engine is missing. Either way, it's going today.

A ward councillor sent this to me. A drunk driver took out a bus stop over the weekend. His insurance company have decided not to do anything. I sent this to my tow contractor and the car was gone in 3 hours.

Some of our recent work. This hot-spot is notorious for cars with no plates, SORN cars, untaxed cars. We lifted 12 cars, issued 36 PCNs, and reported misused of 15 trade plates to the DVLA.
