The National Persistent Evader Database (NPED) is already uncovering some striking – and at times
shocking – patterns of offending behaviour across Essex. One recent case stood out as a clear example
of the scale of the challenge.

The first Category A vehicle flagged by NPED was found to have 88 live Penalty Charge Notices and 69 Warrants of Control returned uncollected by Enforcement Agents. To make matters worse, the vehicle was also recorded as having no valid MOT. Every contravention had occurred in close proximity to the registered DVLA address, underlining the persistence of the evasion.

Following a decisive prompt from NEPP, Enforcement Agents moved quickly, and within just a few days
the vehicle was removed. This case highlights the effectiveness of NPED in identifying persistent offenders
and ensuring enforcement action is both targeted and impactful.
