Car Tax & Insurance

Sully · 2008-05-03 17:21:33

Quick question. I was driving through the city last night and I spotted two guards checking every parked car for Tax/Insurance. I always thought if a car was parked, with no driver or anything, you could not be fined? Seems a bit odd..

As long as it is on a public road, parked or otherwise, it's fair game.

Afaik, a car parked on a public road would have to have a current tax disc displayed on the front windscreen. However, it would not have to display an insurance disc if it is parked.

The insurance disc is always required if parked also as it must be covered by insurance even when parked and not in use.

See section 73 finance act 1976 wrt tax discs.
