Vehicle Tax after Sorn

[Riggernut]

Quick question, if I tax my car online after being sorn'd is it legal to drive whilst waiting for the disc? website FAQ not completely clear.

Usually I'd risk it for a biscuit and with ANPR hooked up to an online/live? database it would probably be ok, but I suppose you never know.

On the other hand, this is what was printed on the back of my last tax-disc reminder:


So, it looks like you'll be not be committing an offence for the first 5 days of the month after the SORN expires, if you've taxed by 'phone or online. However, if you tax the vehicle in the middle of a month, when the vehicle is SORNed, it's not obvious what the law is, regarding displaying the disc.

Cheers for that, It'll only be driven once, from the garage to home. Bugger that I'll lose 3/4 of a month on the disc as I'll be taxing it tomorrow, ho hum.
