No you dont.
With it all being done on computer they can tell/be told if you have applied
even if you have then can do you for failing to display

you dont get any time mate, they send you the slip a month before its due and this is seen as enough time to sort it out

I see a fair few cars parked around (and alot of motorbikes) whose tax ran out months and months ago.
Saying that, I saw a Rozzer plonking a fixed penalty notice on a Peugeot 205 in Morrisons car park last week, so they are out there!

its very specific on the dvla website.
you can drive without a valid taxdisk for 5 days once your current tax has expired. however, these must be the first 5 days of the month and you must have ordered a tax disc online BEFORE your current disc expired.
if you havent bought it online you get 0 days grace

non.
the idea is you get 5 days after your tax disc has expired. so long you have already purchased a tax disc o nline and are awaiting for it to arrive in the post  .

they say all this crap, but when i brought my car it was NOT declared sorn by either myslef or previous owner.
Then it was kept in my garage for 3 months still without telling them a word and they never once contacted me or sent me a letter.
