HOW TO DETERMINE OR SPOT AN ABANDONED VEHICLE ?
The following bullet points should help you make a judgement:
Is the vehicle untaxed i.e. no tax disc present at all or past the expiry date? (This should not be the sole consideration, but should be taken into account with the other points below.)
Are any of the tyres flat or have any of the wheels been removed?
Is there litter or any other signs under the vehicle, indicating that it has not moved for some time?
Is the windscreen or any of the windows broken?
Is there any mould on either the inside or outside of the vehicle?
Does the vehicle contain items of waste e.g. tyres, old newspapers, general rubbish?
Does the vehicle have number plates?
Has the vehicle been ‘hot-wired ‘ i.e. driven without keys by connecting ignition wires together? (If it has, there will be wires hanging from the dashboard.)
Has the vehicle been vandalised? Exterior vandalism might include dents in bodywork, graffiti, bumpers/spoilers being removed; interior vandalism might include radio being stolen, seat covers being slashed.
Has a vehicle that you and your neighbours have never seen before suddenly appeared in your road and no-one is claiming ownership?
ABANDONED VEHICLES AND THE LAW
Local authorities are under a duty under Section 3 of the Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978, to remove a vehicle, which is abandoned in their area, on public land. It does not cover vehicles abandoned on private land.
Under this Act, abandoning a vehicle is a criminal offence, carrying a maximum penalty fine of £2,500 or 3 months’ imprisonment, or both.
Notice periods in England
Abandoned vehicles that have some value can be removed immediately and the registered owner given 7 days to respond before the car can be destroyed.
For vehicles that the local authority considers to have no value – the statutory notice period is 24 hours.
If a vehicle is abandoned on private land the local authority can serve the owner with a 15 day notice, for which they have 15 days to object to the vehicle being taken away.
Local authorities also have the power to recover costs of removal, storage and disposal from the person responsible for abandoning the vehicle.
The police have powers under the Removal and Disposal of Vehicle Regulations 1986 to remove any vehicle that is in breach of local traffic regulations, causing an obstruction, likely to cause a danger, broken down or abandoned without lawful authority. Any car that is considered to be a dangerous wreck and where a notice has been issued, can be removed immediately. We have cash ££££ waiting for your old car.. Call us now 01924 270 834
