The alarming increase in the incidence of abandoned vehicles in the UK has created problems for local authorities, a blight upon the environment and poses health and safety risks. The IWM has produced this document to assist the industry with this issue. The introduction of new measures by DEFRA to help tackle abandoned vehicles and the forthcoming implementation of the End of Life Vehicles Directive will mean that the legislation governing abandoned and end of life vehicles will change over the short to medium term. It is with these factors in mind that the Institute has produced this document as a loose leaf publication which may be readily updated to retain the relevance of the text.
