So, if you've got other commitments, like taking your dog for a walk in the QEII Country Park, no stress. You can hand over the keys to someone you know to take care of it for you.

Drivers in Ashington who are scrapping a vehicle can usually keep their private number plate by arranging retention or transfer with the DVLA beforehand.
