Drivers are being warned their cars will be taken away
Oliver Morley, DVLA Chief Executive, said:
Targeting those who break the law by not taxing their car. While the overwhelming majority of vehicles on the road are licensed correctly, it is only right that we take action against those people who think they can get away with it. The law is clear and so are the consequences – if you don't tax your car, you risk losing it.
The fact is it's never been easier to tax your car. Our online system is available 24 hours a day and with Direct Debit you can choose spread the cost over the year; there really is no excuse for skipping vehicle tax. Whilst 98% of vehicles on UK roads are taxed correctly, the DVLA is currently clamping or impounding around 10,000 untaxed cars every month.
DVLA holds the records of more than 37 million vehicles in the country. The advert focuses on the fact that for those who think they can get away with not taxing their car, DVLA can and will take action against them.

Smart Car driver tries to outrun Police: ‘He lost and is now walking’
As the police illustrate, if you drive with no MOT, insurance or road tax, it’s only a matter of time before you’re caught. They were back today with more car seizures taking place.
The Roads Policing Unit have been back on the Isle of Wight today (Tuesday) after their bumper result last week.
Last Wednesday, the team had an early start on the Island. They were stopping cars that had no MOT or insurance, and found in some cases, the drivers were not insured, some even disqualified.
One driver, in a Smart Car, even tried to outrun the police, but was eventually caught.
