It would appear the DVLA office should expect to receive a lot of calls from the community-minded socially-conscious of ED as they carry out their 'duty' and 'obligation' to the UK's people, cleansing the streets of cheats, in reporting car owners of untaxed vehicles, INCLUDING those who have simply forgotten, been ill, been on holiday, had accidents or experienced the birth of a child and been temporarily distracted. If we get some of the unintentional evaders too well that's just too bad eh, the law's the law. Surely, the community spirited above have never inadvertently got on the train at ED station and expected to buy a ticket at LB having travelled there 'ilegally' eh ? Nor paid their TV licence (it's a TAX, right ?) late, not expecting to be penalised the very day they are overdue ? C'mon folks you KNOW there's no justification for grassing folks down your street, no-one is saying (any form of) tax dodging is acceptable at all - watch the cars for a while, remind them 'in the interests of the community' with a polite note, then perhaps report if your advice is ignored ? Wouldn't that make for the better 'community spirit' ?
