They tried to con me once, into paying six months road tax on a vehicle that I had sold 4 months previously and sent the tax disc back for a refund when i took it off road some six months before their notification. When I enquired why they were only enquiring about it after a full six months, they replied it was their policy...in other words the longer they leave it, the more money they can get out of you...they dropped it in the end when i pointed out that they must have know it was off road, by the fact that they refunded the road tax for several months.

My views do not represent Safespeed but those of a driver who has driven for 39 yrs, in all conditions, at all times of the day & night on every type of road and covered well over a million miles, so knows a bit about what makes for safety on the road,what is really dangerous and needs to be observed when driving and quite frankly, the speedo is way down on my list of things to observe to negotiate Britain's roads safely, but I don't expect some fool who sits behind a desk all day to appreciate that.

In fact, they connive with the police to enable them to con money out of people.
When the police asked them for information about a vehicle I had sold 3 months previously they gave the police my name as the previous keeper.....the police then sent me the NIP (for m/phone use) to try to get around the 14 day rule....unfortunately for them the driver who currently owned it lived in the same village...so I told him..
