NO more 14 days?

clioooooo

DONT THINK THE 14 DAY RULE APPLIES ANYMORE. THEY HAVE EVERYONES DETAILS ON COMPUTER SO IF IT IS NOT RENEWED A FINE GETS SENT OUT AUTOMATICALLY. I WOULD JUST PAY FOR IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

I left it about a month after my tax ran out on the bike before i filled in the SORN, as I was making repairs to the bike and didn't know wheter I would have it fixed in time for the MOT. No fine appeared, so there must be some leeway. I cannot see them issuing a fine on day 1.

if you dont have one buy the first then a ticket will be on its way to you!

its as simple as that with the new law.

my friends dad is a cop by the way

I'm looking at INS163 "New Road Tax Rules"

If you don't renew your road tax the day it runs out a fine of £80 will be issued straight away!... Remember they write to you giving you 2 weeks notice before it runs out....

The law has been around for a while they are just advertising it on TV now. I forgot to declare my old 220 GSI sorn about a year ago and a month after tax ran out I had a fixed fine in post I paid it within 14 days so it was 40 quid if i hadnt it was going to be 80! They gave me a month to declare it sorn i didnt so i got done, it might have changed again recently but thats what happened too me.

I was 19 days late getting my road tax in January, no fine issued.

21 days late this month. No fine as yet - touch wood.

Running on about 2-3 months leeway at the moment ISTR. I think they're trying to break us gradually.

Anyone curious enough to wait to find out will get a whopping finel when the ticket does arrive though. FPT + back duty + mitigated penalty probably...
