driving about without a tax disc?
ronttuk:
when i had my old toyota supra i got fined £150 because the tax disc was in the center of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror it should be placed on the l/h side of the windscreen apparently!

advert on radio the other day stated that you are covered as soon as you put the phone down if you can still be done for not displaying then trading standards need to be told

just to clarify boys and girls :police:
the offence is "failing to display"
you wanna use another vehicles or write on one then display that in your vehicle, as has been suggested - thats fraudulent use and i'll nick ya !!!!!!!
the DVLA now gives 5 days grace to cover the posting of VEL's but the system will tell us if you have paid or not, if you have and not received it carry the email receipt with you in case stopped
its the DVLA that will sting you with thousands of £'s in fines once we submit the paperwork
you've been warned !!! :police:

Thats how I see it too but you could still be done for failing to display unless any one can quote the chapter and verse that says you can drive a vehicle with out one on display?
