RANT! How to tax your vehicle

<< < (3/5) > >>

Two things,

one, the computer system for the mot's are and have been down for a few days, could be a knock on for the po to as they link to this to confirm mot's, both disco and hybrid out of mot, reduced to running round in my fathers car to remain legal until at the earliest booking which is next thursday

two, thank god we have a licensing office down the road from me, just off J26 M1, handy for a bit longer wait but people who actually know the system and solve vehicle licensing problems

My tax on the suzuki runs out as well on Sunday, but i am going to tax it on Tuesday (no money today and no post office open on Monday with it being a bank holiday!)

So if i get pulled on the bank holiday monday there really is nothing that plod can do.

strapping young lad:
there used to be a 14 day grace period (at least i think there used to be)

doubt it anymore

in their eyes you've known for 12 months (or 6 months)

Yeah post office staff are clever people and so is the DVLAS online system... providing you can infact find the right page through the crap they have on there....

Wolfie have had same problem with the post men.... we have a post box outside the gate and some times they used to just put the letter in there and put god knows what on the signiture form... just a note saying thanks...! Plus when u spend 2 weeks trying to trace a letter which contains £50 (before anyone says anything... i didnt know the money was coming till a week later when i was asked... other wise it would have gone recorded!) they tell you theres [!Expletive Deleted!] all we can do and are very sorry! So why dont they put that on the form to begin with!

Never was a 2 week grace period... classic tale .. ask any plod and basically if he is a complete b*****d he will follow a car whos tax expires at midnight and do it at 12:01..(few friends in the force ;) )
also catches a few night shift workers out - as its illegal to display before the date , so you have to carry it and display asap.!!
