Eleven untaxed vehicles have been seized during a day of action in Glenrothes.
Police Scotland, Fife Council and the DVLA targeted abandoned, untaxed and uninsured cars and vans at Whitehill Industrial Estate on Tuesday.
Eleven untaxed vehicles were impounded in total, and a further two untaxed vehicles were clamped.
A DVLA spokesperson said: “While over 98% of vehicles are taxed correctly, DVLA is committed to keeping untaxed vehicles off our roads.

“We have a range of enforcement measures including fines and penalties and are working hard with our national wheel clamping partner to clamp untaxed vehicles.
“It is easy for drivers to pay their vehicle tax, including using our quick and accessible online services or spread the cost using direct debit.”
PC West of Police Scotland Fife said: “These days of action with our partners at are vital in keeping everyone safe on the roads, providing reassurance to legal drivers and operators that we will deal with those who flout road regulations appropriately.”
The DVLA does not need to spot an untaxed car on the road to take action.
It uses a range of enforcement measures including fines, penalties and wheel clamping.
Drivers whose vehicles get clamped must tax their vehicle before paying a release fee to get it back.
Vehicles unclaimed after a fortnight can be disposed of by auction, breaking or crushing.
The Courier previously revealed nearly 1,400 vehicles were clamped across Fife in 2024.
