fruity Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) I thought it was law not to display a valid tax disc in the vehicle ? even though you wouldnt alert anpr because you have taxed it Edited March 10, 2012 by fruity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuC Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 It's an offence not to display a valid tax disc. You wont set any ANPR cameras off as the national database will show you as taxed, but if the police physically stop you, then you could be done. You takes your chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigears Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 i should think so as the police will know it is tax with there on board computer,although the law states it is a offence not to display a valid tax disc, i think you will be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yes, you are allowed a certain period to drive it while the disk comes through the post, I think it's 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silpig5 Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 all of the above are correct , but i have found and been told by the blue boys that if its showing as taxed on the pnc and its feasibly still in the post you are ok as they encourage you to tax online . adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_evil Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Could always pop the new receipt in there instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuC Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Just copied this from direct.gov website. If you applied before tax or sorn expired, you are ok eith 5 days grace. If you did not then you have no grace (i.e It's an offence not to display a valid tax disc) qoute: If you use the electronic vehicle licensing service or tax by post at the end of the month, there’s now an exemption for not displaying a tax disc. This exemption covers the first five working days of the month to allow time for the new disc to arrive in the post. While you are still waiting for your tax disc you will need to display your current tax disc. The exemption only applies if applications are made before the current tax disc or SORN expires.
