An 86-year-old Parkinson’s patient got a criminal record for a £3.34 unpaid car tax — a bill his daughter missed while moving homes. Prosecuted by the DVLA, he paid an £80 penalty thinking it covered everything, then pleaded guilty under a secretive Single Justice Procedure. The magistrate spared him a fine, ordering only the tiny tax amount — but same day, 60 other DVLA cases racked up £25k in fees. This case exposes how vulnerable people are being punished for minor errors, as 1,950 more face prosecution through this system in just one week — while the government reviews the process for 17 months.
