A pavement parking odyssey

[Dag Hammar]

Not pavement parking but certainly inconsiderate parking , on double yellow lines and completely blocking a clearly marked cycle lane. ( it’s a one-way street, Chelmsford ).
I hung around for a few moments and challenged the driver when he returned to his car. Surprise surprise, he was a Deliveroo guy and was clutching a couple of bags he’d just collected to be delivered.
He uttered a few swear words at me !
And, when I got home I checked on the DVLA website and it shows that the Toyota is not taxed. It pleased me to use the DVLA’s website facility to report this untaxed vehicle.

Its probably not insured for business use either.

If it's not taxed the insurance will be void anyway.

Alas, in most case no.

The only absent document that automatically invalidates insurance is the correct drivers licence.

i would hazard a guess than 99 % of these delivery drivers for any company that are classed as self employed dont have the correct insurance,I have seen adverts for parcel delivery drivers with wages that seem ok till you work out running costs / fuel etc then correct insurance and i reckon its lower than minimum wage .Our local evri driver whos very good , he does evri. next and couple of others but is still in a van for a dog grooming set up .
