Last year his driver's license was taken away for a year. In the meantime he was arrested twice because he was driving his car without a valid driver's license. His car was confiscated. Now two weeks later the car has been sold via the website of Domein Roerende Zaken for a very low price. However, he was not informed of this.\n\n My question now is, is this allowed to be done? What is the legal basis for this?\n\n Thank you in advance.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n I'm afraid your acquaintance isn't telling you the whole story.\n\n The police may seize a car if it is being driven and the vehicle is not insured. This is the case when someone no longer has a driver's license. The judge then decides what will happen to the seized vehicle.\n\n Sale within 14 days after seizure seems to me, given the workload of the police and the public prosecutor, to be an urban legend.\n \nThe Movable Property Department sells surplus and seized government property. The sale takes place through a closed auction system. Interested parties bid - invisible to domains and other bidders - on the offered lots. The highest bidder becomes the owner.\n\n You can read more about this at: http:\/\/www.domeinenrz.nl\/domeinenrz_nl\/9ba0aae4ccb29798ccbb9c030b3ffac4.php\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Questioner\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Hmm, yes, I now suspect that too. So sale is only possible after a verdict, if I understand correctly. That would mean that he has been notified of the sale. According to him, the car was sold for far too low a price. Is there anything more to say about that?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Answer adjusted\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55015167459677,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-24780-mijn-kennis-is-meerdere-malen-in-aanraking-geweest-met-justitie-vorig-jaar-is-zijn-rijbewijs-ingeno","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
