Overnight 5/6 September DVLA raid on East Dulwich

[edhistory]

How many clamped cars have you spotted this morning?

[uncleglen]

3...2 in Landells and 1 on Lordship lane

[edhistory]

At least one in Elsie Road.

The windscreen documents say clamped because of no road tax.

How very dare they clamp illigal cars, next they will be targeting drivers with no insurance or licence thus making the roads a safer place for all...

They were around earlier in the week too.

Interestingly (!) they seem to have clamped one old shed for having no tax, then come back, removed the DVLA clamp, and allowed the council to stick one of its "abandoned car, will be removed in 14 days" stickers on it

[Blah Blah]

It's actually the council contractor APCOA that issue the no tax clamps and then inform the DVLA (who issue the fine). APCOA will only tow the vehicle if it looks like it's worth something (i.e if they can sell it or it looks like the owner might pay to collect it). The abandoned vehicle notice just requests the owner to claim ownership. The vehicle can not be towed if the owner does get in touch. And if they don't, it can be sent to the scrap yard right away, therefore reducing APCOAs costs (ie no storage involved).

maybe if they patrol enough in the dead of night they may deter burglars and motor cycle thieves....
