This question was answered on 14th September 2016
The Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency operates a comprehensive package of measures to tackle Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) evasion. These range from reminder letters, penalties and court prosecutions through to the use of tools like Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras, wheel-clamping and the removal of untaxed vehicles. 98.6% of all motorists pay their VED correctly, and VED remains one of the taxes with the highest rates of compliance.
