Has anyone reported a non-taxed vehicle to the DVLA and did they take action?

I would report it to the police rather DVLA. If your facts are right he’s committing criminal offences.

They might eventually, but it might be worth also reporting it to Evri.

Two weeks ago I was working in the garden some distance from the house when Evri arrived to deliver a parcel. I asked the driver to take the parcel to the door as per delivery instructions but he refused and threw the parcel at me before getting back into his van. He roared off quickly, backwards, when he saw me take my mobile out to take a photo of his van which I thought was suspicious. I’ve complained to Lakeland the supplier and Evri but nothing back.

Then on Saturday I saw this van being driven in the village with the same young foreign man driving. I took a note of the number and on checking through DVLA when I got home discovered its road tax ran out in May. This means he is driving around untaxed and uninsured as a courier. I’ve reported it online but will DVLA take any action? Does anyone know?
