a friend of mine has just been given a fixed penalty notice for failure to display his tax disc because his car was parked outside his house on the street with a proper car cover over it. it is taxed but i s'pose technically the plod were right as the tax disc couldn't be seen. i'd never even given it a thought that you could get done if your car is covered up  |

personally if it was me id question it because you are allowed to put a protective cover on your car on your own property  And if the plod in question had the registration to issue the fixed penalty the lazy so n so should of done a pnc check which would of told them the car was in fact taxed  its obviously a jobsworth plod Its soo ridiculas i mean are we all going to be done when our windscreens frost up and our tax discs cant be seen  Good luck let us all know how it goes |

exactly he must have lifted the cover up to see the number plate, we have got a few jobsworth plods around here good point about the frost tho' but i guess it's not so hard to rub a bit of frost off the windscreen than to lift a whole cover off a car to see if it's taxed. load of pap if you asked me. he is going to appeal against it cos the car is taxed so  to mr plod. |
