That punishment could also be meted out to the 80?% of cyclists that jump
red lights.

Or for that matter, also to those that fail to obey Highway Code Rule 160.

[Rule 160 of the Highway Code is aimed at all riders and drivers, which
includes cyclists:

"Once moving you should keep to the left, unless road signs or markings
indicate otherwise. The exceptions are when you want to overtake, turn
right or pass parked vehicles or pedestrians in the road”.]

You cannot keep a car on the highway without VED, a private driveway is fine. A friend of mine got DVLA fines, letters from the DVLA and council, etc. when his car was parked in the parking area for his block of flats, it wasn't actually on the road but it is publicly accessible so essentially still on a public highway. (Pretty sure the law was changed a few years back so you cannot even legally keep a vehicle without insurance, SORNED and not on public highway seems fine though.)

MoT... it's not allowed to be driven unless it's to/from a booked MoT appointment. (In which case it doesn't have to have VED because it may have expired and you cannot renew with a valid MoT, but it does have to be insured.)
