Can i keep a car parked on the road if its..

Technically you can park a car on the road. You need a secure cover, one that covers the numberplate and tax disc. By law, traffic wardens and DVLA bod's are not allowed to lift the cover to check the car's credentials.

However, don't be surprised if "the wind" removes it partially, regardless of how secure it is.

Failure to display springs to mind. If your number plate and tax aren't visible technically they don't exist. It's rather like your pay and display parking ticket. Popping it in the glove box doesn't really help your cause.

They don't send warning letters about no insurance. It attracts on the spot fines and vehicles removed from the road.

That's only if you are caught using it I on the highway. If you dont insure or sorn the vehicle the dvla database automatically issues a warning letter now, followed by an automatic fine if you fail to respond.

It is possible however to still have the vehicle impounded if the police happened to drive past and noticed it wasn't insured, but there would be no fine or penalty points as the offence is using a vehicle without insurance, not parking it on the road without insurance,.

taxed, mot'd, but not insured? And obviously never drive it

Most people would risk it. Are you . Hitler risked it and looked what happened to him. Go on be devil or are you a carefull christion

I had assumed the question being asked was the legality issue not the odds of getting away with deliberately breaking the law.

HE. Knows the law he is fishing to see what other people would do. [Guilty your honour and witnesses to proove it. ]

If a vehicle is on the public highway it is in use. It is the same parking an unroadworthy vehicle with bald tyres.
