I`m glad I did as to my horror, I found that it had expired and ran out on 1st.August. A couple of minutes on their website and I`m up and legal again. Can I therefore put this forgetfulness down to old age So I am glad that I looked on pigeon watch today and am grateful to MM and those pointing out that not everyone gets reminders, as I didn`t. So many thanks to Marsh man and other PW members. Incidently, there was a question on there `Did you get a reminder?` with a possible `YES` or `NO` answer, so I`m guessing that the DVLA realise that not everyone is getting a reminder. OB HI Chris ... Looking at the numbers that didn't get a reminder then I am sure there will be several people driving around with a car that is un taxed , would having a car untaxed on the road make the insurance void if you were unlucky enough to have a accident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked this and it’s at the discretion of the insurance company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the insurance company then invalidates the insurance, it would become a criminal offence.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decoy1979 Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 My wife received a last chance reminder the other day, she'd not received the regular reminder.. Her tax had expired at the end of July, fortunately she'd not had an accident or been stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
