LightBulb Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Talking to a "man in the pub" last night, ( in Port Erin ) he told me he went to tax his car and was told by the post office clerk, the tax expired 12 months ago, so he was asked to provide a copy of his licence disc, to prove it was actually taxed the previous year, which he did. I went "just out of cruriosity" onto https://services.gov.im/vehicles-driving/vehicle-search And found that my vehicle was also on thier database as untaxed, which it wasen`t, apparently it was caused by an error input at the post office, so my question is, if the data held on file for unlicenced vehicles is "so far amiss", what is the point of investing in ANPR, if all of the data is incorrect, has anyone else had this problem, has anyone else checked on the https://services.gov.im/vehicles-driving/vehicle-search ?

Yup, exactly the same happened to me last year with the Maverick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny cos my Mrs got a letter through the post last week - very polite it was too - complete with a photo of the good lady driving through Ramsey. As it turns out, we'd forgotten to tax her car..so it was a fair cop. They gave us 14 days to correct the error our ways before taking it further. Yep, I often take the piss out of the DOI on this one it seems the kit is out there and working.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
