answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>Failure to register a vehicle following the six-month exemption period is not an offence for which a fixed penalty notice can be issued. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency instead writes to keepers of these vehicles offering them an out of court settlement where it appears that an offence has been committed, so that the matter may be resolved without court proceedings. The table below shows the amount of these out of court settlement letters issued in the last five financial years.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>YEAR</p><p> </p></td><td><p>NUMBER OF OCS ISSUED</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>09/10</p><p> </p></td><td><p>108</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>10/11</p><p> </p></td><td><p>83</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>11/12</p><p> </p></td><td><p>192</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>12/13</p><p> </p></td><td><p>59</p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>13/14</p><p> </p></td><td><p>84</p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p /> <p /> <p> </p><p /> <p> </p><p /> <p /><p /> <p>Since April 2014, 237 out of court settlement letters have been issued.</p><p /> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 16/06/2014 15:38:12 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) receives information on foreign registered vehicles from the police and other enforcement agencies, as well as from members of the public. Other ways of obtaining this information are currently being explored.</p><p> </p><p>The DVLA has been working with the police to pilot a new enforcement process. This involves the DVLA providing the police forces with registration numbers of foreign registered vehicles which may have overstayed the six- month exemption period and where the keepers have not complied with UK requirements. This information enables the four police forces involved to seize and impound vehicles that have overstayed, where appropriate. If the pilot is successful, the DVLA will explore the potential for extending it to more police forces.</p><p> </p><p>The DVLA is also working with other government agencies to establish what other data might be used to track and identify over staying foreign registered vehicles.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 16/06/2014 15:39:03 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
