ON reading about the 33 car owners, many of them in one Bury street, who had not taxed their cars, I can only say they must have the cheek of the devil, and that an example should be made of them. If the DVLA let off these tax dodgers lightly it will encourage many more car owners to do the same.

They should be fined heavily and must be made to pay all the back duty. If they come up with a pathetic excuse and refuse to pay, their car should be put in the crusher. If they can't afford to pay their road tax they shouldn't have bought a car. It's no wonder car tax keeps going up.

Like many others I will now be taking more notice of cars and if they are not taxed, I will ring the powers-that-be and report them.

So watch out, there's a "grass" about!
