CUNNING CAR TAX EVADERS

Police are teaming up with the DVLA to clamp down on car tax evasion in Hampshire.  It is estimated that untaxed vehicles cost taxpayers £79 million a year throughout the UK and are often linked to other criminal activity or road safety issues. The vehicles themselves are less likely to be roadworthy and 80 per cent of them have no insurance.

Hampshire Police have warned tax evaders who flout the law and disregard the rules of the road will be caught and harshly dealt with.
