The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has launched a national Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) campaign titled ‘Nobody Wins’ to emphasize the importance of timely vehicle taxation. The initiative features a talking wheel clamp character named ‘Clampy’ to highlight the consequences of failing to tax vehicles. Over 150,000 untaxed vehicles were clamped in the UK in 2025, despite 98.7% of road vehicles being taxed. The campaign promotes online taxation, offering 24/7 access via DVLA’s website or phone service. Postcode areas with the highest clamping actions in 2025 include London (16,557), Manchester (9,174), and Birmingham (7,369). DVLA emphasizes enforcement actions against untaxed vehicles, with local authorities and police also permitted under the Devolved Power Partner scheme. Motorists are urged to tax vehicles promptly to avoid disruptions.
