Dvla Find Someone Else To Harass

[Guest TerryBarry]

Apparently there is a requirement by The Use of Invalid Carriages on the Highways Regulations 1988, that mobility scooters must be registered with the DVLA.

This means that each one must be issued with a registration number and must display a tax disc - however registration plates do not have to be attached to the vehicle and the tax disc is free.

The tax disc must be displayed - penalty for not displaying £ 80.

 

All scooter owners are being contacted and have to fill in forms, return them to DVLA, etc, etc, etc.

 

Oh well, I suppose that it goes some way to reducing unemployment in Wales

 

Just another thought - when it's three years old will the owners need to fork out ~£50 for a MOT

Good, there lethal death traps

I think they should all have to go through SVA.

 

I would by-pass this by registering mine as a Lotus

[Guest salty_monk]

If this includes old people carriages could be a good thing. The police will be able to trace where they live when they forget.... boom boom

 

Seems a bit OTT....

[Guest tom2b]

Personally i think they should be banned as they go VERY SLOWLY, have crap lights and the drivers round here have a nasty habit to drive about a foot out from the hedge on blind corners. And when there not in the road there trying to bowl you over on the pavements

How does the dvla know who owns a scooter?
