DVLA ANPR

[Strider440]

Do they still send these vans out to look for newly SORNed vehicles?

Due to an insurance mess up,

i've got to take my car off the road,

I have a driveway,

but i've heard of people getting DVLA fines due to the reg being picked up on the ANPR vans,

 

vehicle on my own property

is there anything wrong with sticking gaffa tape over half the plate to stop the ANPR pinging it?

I'm assuming not as it's fully on private property........

its sorn'd and off road!!

 

nowt they can do 

 

it wont be on their searchable database that any ANPR system uses anyway.

as that's ALL the database contains.

I know this TBH, but I also know what the DVLA are like once they issue a fine, completely automated system, refuse to drop it, ends up in court with them losing.

I know 3 people who've been issued fines when SORN, with the vehicle on a private driveway parked facing the road, the ANPR pings it and a fine is issued automatically, the person driving doesn't actually do anything bar drive the van........ Or at least it was like this maybe 5-10 years ago.

cover the numberplate then if you are that worried.
