Tax Disc Question
Hello everyone.
I picked up my MR320 yesterday, but the tax disc is still at the docks (in the post to me). The car is fully registered etc, and completely legal, however just no tax disc displayed. What are the legalities associated with not having your actual tax disc on the vehicle...what would be the punishment if it was illegal....points? slap on wrist? fine? or producer?
Cheers,
Matt

fine for none display, think it says on the back of the tax disc £200. How do you know if you don't have the tax disc? ...I'll probably plead ignorance and say I didn't realise it wasn't in...and will contact the dealer asap, and hopefully they'd let me off. I could understand if the car wasn't taxed, but it is! pain int ar$e.Cheers,

It is an offence not to display it even if it is fully taxed, so that is the risk you will be taking. It is even an offence not to have the tax disk in a waterproof cover on the windscreen!!

Been stopped at a police checkpoint and asked where my tax disc was. Pulled it out my pocket and he said 'OK'. And let me go. A bit different as I was on the bike at the time - 'lot's of dodgy people steal tax discs etc' was the excuse.
For ther car, as has been said, just don't park it where people can see it has no disk.

Not that I would condone this sort of thing, but with a valid tax disk from another car, a photo printer and a scanner, you can knock something up that will make your car look as taxed as it actually is.
I mean, it's not as though you haven't paid the tax, is it?
