The local police I would imagine.
Call the police on 101. It's the non-urgent number.

is it the police then and not the dvla?
Yes, it's the police.
are you sure they don't have a licence?
In these days the police know if you are taxed, insured and licensed. In the old days they didn't.
If you don't want to contact the police direct then call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, and give as much details as possible.
No they don't - well not insured , they have a good idea but they don't know for a fact as it's an industry database and not a police one.

You can be insured quite legally by an insurance company in Europe and it doesn't appear on their system.

Had quite a few 'conversations' on this with the DVLA until they stopped sending my nephew threatening letters
do you dislike this person?
or do you actually like them but cant allow them to commit a crime?

if the latter, and its someone who has just not passed their test rather than been banned i'd send them an anonymous note telling them to get a license asap or you will report them

you will probably know if they do because they will have to have driving lessons etc
Apart from this be a serious offence, "Be careful" If they know its you, you may pay the price with damage to your car / Property etc, I am with you regards the reporting, I would be thinking if this person gets involved in a collision & the outcome.
Report them (crimestoppers is a good idea). I dont want to be sharing the road with people who have either not passed a test or had their licence taken away.
jeza, the Police can check for Tax and Insurance with NPRC's but that does not tell them who is driving and if they have a Licence.


Swiper, Yes, Police on 101, as said.
///you will probably know if they do because they will have to have driving lessons etc///

joko, do you seriously expect someone who has been driving previously, illegally or not, to suddenly have BSM turn up at their front door?
They probably won't act on it.

I reported my ex for drink driving. I told them where he'd be, the details of the car, the fact that he was banned even though he didn't have a license. Did they do anything....No

The next time he done he crashed into three cars!!!
Well they will act on it, whether they catch a suspect for whatever reasons is a different matter
I'd forgotten the MOT on my car was due, and was a day or two late in getting it tested. I later met a local bobby who I know, and he said "Well, are you on the road legally now?" I asked how he could possibly have known that my car's MOT had been out of date. He revealed that one of the CCTV cameras in our town centre is a numberplate recognition camera. Vehicles are automatically scanned for MOT, insurance, and road tax. If any of these aren't held, the monitor in the CCTV control centre beeps. The operator can then call up the data on the vehicle, and pass on the information to the police. I said I hadn't heard of any prosecutions using the system, but he said he wouldn't comment on that. Maybe it's still on a trial basis. Big Brother really is watching you!
Heathfield - People have been fined for smoking in work vehicles being caught by cameras like that.
Hmm. Must carry an e-cig. Even if I didn't use it, I could claim I had been!

There have been quite alot of answers since I last checked! No, I haven't got any particual beef with the person, but the person is question lives on the next road to me and has almost crashed into me twice and I have witnessed them almost cause other accidents. Yesterday was the last straw as I was walking to pick my daughter up from school and they flew by me at about 60mph in a 30 zone and squealed round the corner in to a car park, then proceeded to park over 2 spaces. I will take evryones advice and see what heppens. Thank you.
