Do it online, The tax disc would arrive no later than Tuesday and if you were pulled you would be able to truly claim "it is in the post.

online is easy peasy + once your have applied and paid I imagine the ANPR/DVLA cameras would know your had tax if you got scanned.
Its hardly worth displaying a tax disc anymore really but you still have to otherwise you can risk a fine.

Done online now, thanks lads :drinking:
Going to have a well earned beer because ive been shatting myself.

Always do mine online, so much easier than the old days :happy2:

I did this last time (with the old car). No way to get to the PO in time (bank holiday weekend), so did it online and voila! Tax disc came in the post a few days later. No one said nothing.
funniest thing is whilst I was worried about driving to tescos with an invalid disc for one hour, a mate had been driving around with an invalid disc for about three months. Didn't realise till I pointed it out to him.
-
I had a new screen about 4months ago and not displayed one since - I know I should have just not got round to it. Local PCSO even knocked on the door to ask if the Golf of the front was mine as it had no tax, I asked if he'd checked the database as you would see I had just I had not put it back in since swapping the screen - he said nothing else and jumped back on his mountain bike :grin:

I have found a loop hole and can avoid paying car tax altogether, simply register your car as a disabled vehicle as all disabled products are VAT exempt.
Just follow these easy steps:
A) buy a large motocycle, a 950 Triumph Daytona is fine.
B) find a nice stretch of road with a large Beech tree close by.
C) bring A and B together.
On second thoughts F***it, pay the Tax.
:smiley:

iirc you get a 7 day buffer period to get a new tax disk when it expires
-
I didn't know that a thank you your way mr BL cheers

yayy first one lol

Neil you constantly amaze me. You teach us a great lesson, And i don't mean the one above about being more careful on bikes.
You set a great example of how to deal with life, and make the most of it. Your attitude to what life has thrown at you is amazing.
I wish i had the mental fortitude that you have. And i have nothing but admiration for you. :drinking:

^^^ Well said that Cat :happy2:

Just thought you should know in response to the post about not having your tax in the window. You do have the 7 day buffer period if you order online/over the the phone however it is and offence in law to not display your tax in the bottom left side of the windscreen (UK only). If a police officer decides to do you for this then you won't know about it until the DVLA take it away. They don't have a responsibility to tell you you've been reported for it.
-
I think thats a bit extreme when they can check it on their 'system' - although I understand its the 'law'. Also has to be on a public road for them to take it away.
I half expected a comment when I posted to be honest :rolleye:
-
Well although Ive bought my tax over the internet so wont come till poss tuesday ill turn my car round in the drive and dont really need to use it on monday so shouldn't be a problem, thanks every one for all your great advice.

The police need to see it on the road without tax to report you, the DVLA don't. If you don't submit a SORN (Statutory off road notification) it doesn't make a difference. The onus is on you to prove it hasn't been driven, not visa versa.
