<DIV><FONT size=2>Still plenty of 'gotchas' though, one of the more recent being
that if a seller goes online immediately he swaps the car for money to
notify the DVLA of the sale (so he isn't liable for the purchasers subsequent
speeding fines), the existing road tax is cancelled and the buyer has
to retax it before he can drive it. Tricky if the process takes place
at the sellers house. That and others are supposed to reduce the
number of untaxed and unregistered cars on the roads but there has been an
explosion in them. Once a car is off the books they can drive around with
impunity, with cloned plates applicable to another car, and innocent
victims copping for their speeding and parking tickets.</FONT></DIV>

the registration and title document includes the VIN, or car/chassis number,
owner's name and address, previous owner's info, and body color - I think. Oh,
and there is an area to indicate if there is a lean against the car. EasyPeasy
if everything is in order. Cumbersome if not. Perhaps that is how it should
be, for our own protection. </SPAN></DIV>
