DVLA warning as drivers risk £1,000 fine for keeping cars off the road and in garages

Experts suggest an increasing number of drivers are choosing to keep their car off the road amid the cost of living crisis and the high cost of fuel.

With more people reportedly choosing this option, drivers are being urged to make sure they inform the DVLA if their car is off the road and untaxed.
