car tax question

[jaye944]

ok, may sound a bit silly but here goes.

I want to get my tax preferably next few days. however

I lost my insurance certificate, but have a photocopy. I have the new original insurance renewed document.

(photocopy shows)
00:01:00 31st January 2008 - 24:00:00 30th January 2009
(new cert shows)
00:01:00 31st January 2009 - 24:00:00 30th January 2010

my TAX runs out 31/12/2009 (that would be midnight i.e. 24:00:00)

I'm assuming my photocopy wont be accepted by the PO
and my new cert as it has'nt started yet wont count?

However, thinking,
if I went to a PO on the 31st January, I could just insure it then ?

cheers
again, I know it a bit silly

Yeah well, this is what I was thinking

Any other time of the year I wouldnt really worry about it.

Also Slough posties are fooking ****e, its a 50/50 chance if I ever get my mail.
