Maybe. The person summonsed will be the person to whom the S.172 is addressed. Whilst in this case this may be the RK, it is not always so. An S.172 can be served on anybody.
-
Not quite. An untaxed vehicle is exempt under the regulations to travel to/from a pre-booked MoT appointment. It is also exempt for travrl to/from pre-booked repair after it has failed such a test.
-
Instantly. An MoT test requires the garage to be on-line at the time of the tets
-
Er, that's the point of the nip/S.172 request...
-
Insurers have up to 14 days to update the database. MoT is actually done on-line and should immediately show

eReader and eBooks : Is it worth buying a Kindle?
patdavies replied to Boppy's topic in eBook Readers - eReaders
I would whole-heartedly recommend the Kindle. One word of warning. don't believe (as illustrated in the advert) that you can put it in your hip pocket and forget about it - you will damage it. -
I had exactly the same experience. I got toward the end of the 30 days (for various reasons) and they obligingly sent reminder emails including a link to the label to printout

Refused to Sign Roadside FPN from a Police Officer
patdavies replied to Steve_E's topic in Private Land Parking Enforcement
An FPN for a defective VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark)... -
Time slip is basically irrelevant. An FPN is merely an offer to deal with the matter without going to court. If you elect for Court, then the FPN becomes scrap paper and a summons issued - which gives them a chance to get the time right. Even if they don't correct it on the summons, the slip rule will allow them to correct it in Court

ANPR as used by the Police is capable of reading any Schengen area plus UK and Eire VRM -

VRM defect is non-endorsable, so no points. Just the fine. -
Advice on parking ticket please!
patdavies replied to DickyRobbo44's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
I agree entirely with Bernie on this one. Councils have discretion enshrined in statute, so not ticketing others is not a reason not to enforce your ticket. -
They have issued with a scare letter, not a summons to a Magistrates' Court. If it were from Mags, it would have the option to plead not guilty.
-
Perhaps you were lucky it was only a mobile; with the current price of fuel it will be the deeds to your house next....
-
Sorry, but SOGA does not apply for you here. The retailer is only obliged to deal with the purchaser and not a third party who received the goods as a gift
-
Wrong. This is but one example of an exempt vehicle and there is no requirement in law for the test to be pre-arranged - only that it is pre-booked. Case law has also held that it is permissible to stop on the way to the test - the vehicle does not have to be driven straight there

DVLA - Failure to Notify Change of keeper Court Action
patdavies replied to WeAllNeedHelp's topic in DVLA
Yes, her advice can be questioned and provides grounds for the appeal. Forget the interpretation Act for the moment, the Magistrates have made their decision based on advice that the 28 day 'checking' requirement is law rather than fantasy by the DVLA -
DVLA - Failure to Notify Change of keeper Court Action
patdavies replied to WeAllNeedHelp's topic in DVLA
She is definitely mistaken, but a Magistrates' Court is a court of fact, not a court of law. Finer legal points are beyond the competency's of lay magistrates and are better dealt with by Judges at Appeal Court -
The rules and regulations for a council car park will be in the traffic order setting up the car park.

NFU Mutual Car insurance - Mutual Assist breakdown
patdavies replied to texan's topic in General Motoring Issues
If the battery has been left without charge for any length of time, then there is a good chance that it will fail to hold charge at all. -
Whilst not changing the advice given, I would point out - for the sake of correctness only - that the Bill of Rights 1689 is not in the least relevant since it governs the relationship between the State and the individual and not private companies

Help-Parking ticket-advice appreciated
patdavies replied to dbcc33's topic in Private Land Parking Enforcement
Reply to both on grounds of procedural impropriety An A.10 PCN must be served within 28 days of the contravention. -
They lie like cheap Japanese cuckoo clock
-
Yes. DVLA will write to the current RK (in this case presumably the owner) and if they get no response after 28 days (it would be interesting if they did!!) they will issue a V% in your name.
-
Apply for a new V5 in your name - this has absolutely nothing too do with who owns a vehicle, but who is keeping it. If you have had it for 2 years, then pretty obviously you are the keeper.
