Yes but V5 will have date written on change of keeper form which is 16th August. Tax runs from 1st September. Therefore new keeper has 14 days no tax and no SORN. Think this is all computerised and fine will be automatically issued?
I doubt it'll all catch up so quickly, it's a government agency we are talking about here t1grm said:
... Apart from all this the disc looks to be filled out incorrectly. The vehicle category is PC; I've never heard of that. Normally it's PLG - private light goods - and two other boxes on the disc were left blank. It was a sub post office at a W H Smiths and the guy on the counter looked stoned and not a day over 17.
In a year or two (if not less) the DVLA Local Offices are scheduled to be closed... The services currently offered by these DVLA Local Offices will be available on the high street and other outlets, it has been said. Savings will be substantial, service will be local, usual BS blah blah.You've seen the future ; there will be many more posts like this as the high street places start dealing with serious stuff not just 'tax discs' !!!
Brave new world, comrade!

Sounds like a good way to have even more illegal vehicles on the roads - my local (small village) post office doesn't bother their arse checking insurance/MOT when getting tax, so what other corners are going to be cut?You've seen the future ; there will be many more posts like this as the high street places start dealing with serious stuff not just 'tax discs' !!!

Yup. Conversation at PO when getting this tax disc:PO: Do you have your documents, oh yes here's the insurance
Me: Yes, the MOT is there as well
PO: Oh it's OK, we don't need that
Anyone know what the boxes under the reg mark and vehicle class are for? They were both left blank. I'm sure they are normally filled out.

They can check the MOT online. You don't need to take it with you.PO: Do you have your documents, oh yes here's the insurance
