I have done, just print off your reciept from the transaction, and put it in the glove box.

It will be here tomorrow or Friday anyway.

Is there a postal stike, I think there is......

Just stick a "tax in post" note in the windscreen of your rusty yellow ford transit

if you have applied for a tax disc online you can drive around on the strength of your old tax disc for 5 days only

Seriously though, although you are taxed it is still an offence not to display a valid tax disc

but in practice I dont think the police would bother

and surely APNR camera's would just link a numberplate with the DVLA database which would show you properly taxed

they just need to reform the law requiring you to display it

The Dogs B******s

You serious

CrisPDuk

Actually Dogs he is correct, it is an offence not to display a valid tax disc.

Though how an ANPR camera would spot this I'm not sure

Yep on the front of the disc is says "£200 fine for none display of disc" its on the bit you tear off

The Dogs B******s

I was taking the p1ss out of kingofturds,he's never serious

PS,its the other halfs car,she should of got the tax earlier

IanW

He is indeed correct, it is an offence to not display a valid VEL, infact from memory the law even states that it should be on the near side of the windscreen as well.

ANPR link to DVLA database, so no problem with them. Only issue might be parked in a carpark or on the street and some **** in a uniform spots you.
I drove round for the last 3 weeks without because of a local postal strike but carrying my online receipt as Yoza said. Tax arrived yesterday so I'm legal again.

The Dogs B******s

The car will be parked on private land,cant print off receipt(printer is sh*t,so dont bother using it)Hopefully the tax disc will arrive tomorrow

hodgy0_2

I would love to know how many people get prosecuted for non displaying a VEL disk -- that have paid the Tax abd it's eitherin the post or lost or down the side of the passenger seat

I would suspect it to be in the low single figures
