<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>
