I was talking about business deals (like selling the car, getting it repaired etc.) not motoring offences. Yes, if you do not notify the DVLC that you have sold a car, they assume you still own it and you are liable for things like parking offences, and even accidents if the driver does a runner.

A few years ago I did some work as an outside clerk (the guy sitting next to the barrister if a solicitor is not sitting there). Some judges know even less about the law than me (and I've had no formal legal training). I have no idea where they get them from, but sometimes I think it must be the local branch of "Idiots R Us".
