<p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) operates a comprehensive package
of measures to tackle unlicensed vehicles. These range from reminder letters, penalties
and court prosecutions through to the use of automatic number plate recognition cameras,
wheelclamping and the removal of unlicensed vehicles. The DVLA is currently running
a publicity campaign to highlight the consequences of not licensing vehicles. The
DVLA also runs adverts on social media, mobile gaming, search engines, poster sites,
and radio.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The DVLA collects more than £7 billion in
vehicle excise duty each year on behalf of HM Treasury. Every two years, a roadside
survey is carried out to estimate the number of unlicensed vehicles on the roads.
The last survey, carried out in June 2021, showed that 98.1 per cent of vehicles were
correctly licensed.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p>
