I bought a new van 3 months ago, the tax disc was supposed to arrive "In a couple of days", it didn't.
Chased it after a few weeks but Peugeot had made a pigs ear of the paperwork and it eventually arrived a couple of days ago, I didn't bother putting it on.
I drive around in London all day under the watchful eye of a zillion cameras and haven't had the slightest interest fom the police for not displaying it during all that time.
You don't really know what ANPR means, do you?Chased it after a few weeks but Peugeot had made a pigs ear of the paperwork and it eventually arrived a couple of days ago, I didn't bother putting it on.

Is anyone else going leave the holder, and buy an age-appropriate replica disc?
I'd like a 2001 disc for my X reg car. Where do I get one? I still have the original for my 2013 car. In the past when I've had new cars I kept all the discs. I had an old MG ZT-T which had all its discs all ten of themNo pics but I took mine off of the Box this afternoon, it does look better from a few paces, if you squint a bit. The main issue now is that I'd made an effort to place the aftermarket DAB antenna almost perfectly in line with the edge of the tax disc holder (rendering it virtually invisible) and with the tax disc holder gone it really stands out. 
) I'm tempted to stick it back on as I believe it was the original one from when the car was new (1997). 
Am I alone in thinking that most of the changes seem perfectly thought out in order to help widespread public acceptance of VED rate increases? (Especially on anything remotely interesting/fast/fun, with most cars fitting any of these descriptions already falling foul of punitive taxes.) The seemingly generous offer of "pay monthly @ a 5% premium rather than six monthly @ a 10% premium" rings alarm bells.
After all, a 10% increase on £500 a year makes headlines but a 10% increase on £43.75 a month is well within many households reach to absorb & isn't much more than a pint a month in some parts of the country.

I'll be leaving mine in for old times sake.
N.B only vehicles taxed from 1/10/14 do not need to display a tax disc. If you have a valid tax disc up to 30/09/15 you still need to display it.
Well that's how I read it.
From the DVLA websiteN.B only vehicles taxed from 1/10/14 do not need to display a tax disc. If you have a valid tax disc up to 30/09/15 you still need to display it.
Well that's how I read it.
From 1 October 2014, the paper tax disc will no longer need to be displayed on a vehicle. If you have a tax disc with any months left to run after this date, then it can be removed from the vehicle and destroyed.

Amazing. The tax disc holder on my Fireblade disassembled itself whilst I was riding home from work. No idea where it ended up.
TIMING, HUH?
Indeed, the tax disc blew away on my motorbike recently. Oh well.TIMING, HUH?
Took the (rather solid) tax disc holder off my bike tonight
Good job too - I noticed the lower bolt on the caliper (not attached to the holder) was loose! Wouldn't want that to come out while braking from high speed*
