Will i get away with this...(TAX)

[Clouds_mate]

Left my new tax disc in missus car.

She gone now and her battery on her mobile is dead.

Will i gt away withit this weekend?

I knew i would do this.

[Baz]

don't see why not, my tax disc holder kept falling off so just threw it in the glovebox, dint get anything through post etc so....they say they can check if you don't have it so don't see why they can't see if you do....they probs be an arse over it but recon you'll be right

[Leo]

As long as ur car is taxed i wouldnt worry about it

[l1ukeRS]

say u bought it online and it aint bin delivered, good job u said that as i forgot all bout buying mine

[Andyt]

You'll probably get away with it.

Iirc traffic wardens and police officers can give fixed fines for not displaying it though.

[Luke]

They will have record that you have new tax for your car, so in theory you should be ok.

Chances of getting pulled are pretty slim and if you do, they can check to see if you have bought it.

[Yates]

ive always heard a rumour that you can get away with it for up to 2 weeks after the date not sure if thats true

im going to ring dvla now and report you

[Clouds_mate]

S'all reet, shes just phoned me and brining it to me before i go.


Well trained.

[hesslevtr]

prob will do i drove toireland im a van and it and the tax had expired i got stopped at customs and they didnt say anything

[Luke]

Good to see you got her trained well.

[willsy]

Yes you can get away with not taxing the car for 2 weeks
Dont park in busy streets etc over weekend (although do wardens work weekends?) because you can still get fine for not displaying
Yes they can check that your car is taxed on a database.

Just stick your old tax disk in the windowor something ur covered on all fronts then


edit : Good girl bringing it to you :)

[Luke]

It's ok now Matt, girlfriend is bringing it back for him.

[oz_borne]

and even if she didn't. the cops have computer basis with all this on and once cross referenced with the dvla they willknow you have a tax disk, it's just not displayed.

:A:

I got a £60 fixed penalty for not displaying my tax disc, it was a really wet day and i had my heaters on full to clear the windscreen, think that caused my alloy holder to fall off and I never noticed it. Came out from work and had a nice fine flapping from my windscreen wiper. Lazy bastard didnt even bother looking on the floor, because thats where it was and it had fell the right way round.

Luckily I appealed it and it got overturned :D:

[MikeCracknell]

It says on the tax disc somewhere "failure to display £250" or something like that

[mike_obuk]

i wouldnt worry. you would be very unlucky to get done for it.

mine has expired. was going to go to the post office this morning, but was too hung over! lol.
