Car Tax "grace"

[Violet]

When I couldn't tax my car due to not being able to get to the post office because of work and because I'm lazy, I kept the V5, MOT form, etc on the passenger seat, so if I got stopped, I would've left the car, waving the forms about saying 'I'm going to tax it now!' Think it was about 5 - 10 days or something. I've actually had it past the 14 days, sorned it online and didn't receive a fine.

Some cars have no tax and I do not mean the ones that got a tax free status after 25 years (now abolished as of at least 10 years ago!).

I will guess at a Pug 107 1.0!

£30 a year,what you got,a basic spec polo?

Close... Arosa TDI. It's now got 96 bhp and 190 lb-ft

Just one other thing though i have the DVLA V11 renewal reminder to hand and this is what it says regarding "warning"
(wont type everything)...."By law , you as the registered keeper WILL NOT BE COMMITTING AN OFFENCE if you tax or make a sorn WITHIN 14 days of the date your
current tax disk runs out? (is that 14 days before and AFTER the "Date"??)

Well that makes a very arguable case should they have done you for it, they told me by phone you get no leway, not that I ever trust government run agencies though lmao

To be fair you can tax your car early and still pay the same and get the same expiry date on your disc, so there's not much point taxing it late and getting hassle for it.

if its within 14 days of the current tax disk runs out the its 14 day before the end of the month...so it you disk ran out on the 31/08/2010 you could tax or sorn it between 18/08/2010 to the 31/08/2010
