It is actually a smart stunt by the DVLA to get across their message that not taxing your vehicle has consequences. The ruse is being used in cities across the UK.
Last year just under 29,000 enforcement actions were taken against untaxed vehicles in Manchester, including fines, penalties, and clamping. However, more than one of these may have been taken against the same vehicle. The DVLA has launched a new advertising campaign in the highest evading areas across the UK reminding motorists of the real risk of failing to tax their vehicles on time.
