More than 400 untaxed vehicles flagged

Over 400 untaxed vehicles were flagged by automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology on Island last year.

That's according to figures given by Infrastructure Minister, Tim Baker MHK, in a written response to a query during the virtual sitting of Tynwald earlier this week.

In total, 449 vehicles were found to be untaxed - with the highest amount identified -  131 in September 2020.

None were picked up between March and June last year - Mr Baker has clarified ANPR systems weren't in place during that period due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
