Can anyone here trace the owner of a car if I supply the registration?

edit to add the question mark in the subject

Normally a closely guarded secret by the Police National Computer (PNC). Users have to be certified to use it - using it for anything else other than a legitimate check is a criminal offence. My police friend told me so.

you having trouble following your bump lee?

if its for a legitimate reason, i.e they crashed into you and drove off, you can obtain the info from the DVLA for a small charge (£2.50 last year)

I hope this is not in relation to Tony's little bump.

Bad news.

Fuckers!

Really sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you are OK and the majority of the car came out intact.

I don't care how minor a shunt it is, I will always call the police if they don't have photographic ID on them. You hear too many people getting caught like this. I had a kid drive into the back of my company car a few years ago. I made him show me his credit cards and drivers licence (copied down all the details). No way was he getting away with it. I even took his photo on my mobile. Turns out he was driving his mums car, and he paid in cash up front for the repairs.

But my wife is a more trusting soul. She got hit at a round about, and just took the guys name and address from him. Luckily the details turned out to be genuine but it could so easily have been false.

Anyway I sincerely hope you get sorted OK.

Thanks all I've got the V888 form from the DVLA website.

car dumped... that implies nicked unless it is worthless. Even if he was uninsured he could've gotten away with a cash settlement and kept his car.

Explains why he was so apologetic at the scene, obviously trying to keep a low profile.

Good luck mate. I can probably get a pair of crap front wings made real cheap, functional but not a perfect mould.

thats a real pisser, same happened to me (in a tintop), hence the advise above.

i've got a pair of used front cycle wings inthe garage, yours if they're any good to you.

Ray

i have a set of mk wings will need small tiny repair and a paint, yours for the p and p

Guinness summed it up with his first word!

I really can't understand how.... I'll stop now before I start ranting too much...

That is crap mate, I hope you get it sorted....
