Dear Mr. Editor,

I have been noticing, over the past couple of months, a new “motoring sport” – how many unlicensed, and, by definition, uninsured vehicles can we get on our roads?

Every time I go for a drive – in my fully licensed and insured car – I will regularly see at least two, and frequently more, such vehicles! 

Of course if anyone is riding a motorcycle of less than 250cc none of those appear to be licensed and the mufflers/silencers have been removed!

I know allowances are being made, because of Covid-19, to allow for a short grace period for licence renewal, but surely that will relate only to vehicles already licensed, not to newly imported vehicles.

Yours, 

still wondering
