Abandoned vehiclesAn abandoned vehicle is one which has not been moved or attended to for a long time. There may be visible damage to suggest a crash or signs the vehicle has been stolen, such as: significant damage it's run-down or unroadworthy, including being rusted missing or suspicious number plates broken windows, flat tyres has a lot of rubbish inside it broken or loose ignition broken steering column Abandoned vehicles can cause a nuisance by obstructing roads, traffic and pedestrians. The sight of a damaged or slowly rusting car can also be an eyesore in your community, so it’s understandable you might want it to be removed. What you can do about abandoned vehicles?If you know the vehicle owner, our first advice would be to ask them politely to move it. After all, they may not be aware they’re causing a problem. However, do not take the law into your own hands by intervening, such as making physical threats or attempting to move the vehicle yourself. You may make the situation worse and even risk committing an offence yourself. If you find one, please report an abandoned vehicle. This can also be done by calling 101. The vehicle in question could well be stolen. | ||
