displaying an unexpired tax disc

[nta16]

it's true that from today you don't have to display a tax disc on your front windscreen

BUT - (little known fact)

if your paper tax disc is still current, i.e. runs out after 30/9/14 then it should be displayed in the rear window until it expires

If you currently have a paper tax disc can you bin it after then 1st October or does it still need to
be visible on the vehicle?

you can bin from 1 October as no need to display from then

According to everything I've read, including this page from Autocar ( http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/all-cha... ) you can remove the tax disc if you have any months remaining - the law that requires you to display a tax disc has been removed from today.

I believe that the similar law that prevents you from displaying anything that looks like a tax disc but isn't - for example a historic tax disc - has also been removed.

Pathetically so.

What if you have tax but display a disc that's out of date?

what if you dont have a rear window?

it's a transitory measure until all tax discs have expired

provisions have to be made by yourself - a tax disc holder, rather like those on motorbikes, has to be permanently fixed to the rear deck of the car

to help old duffers like yourselves not get your incontinence pants in a twist I added the clown face to the thread and to one of my posts

Yes, but it was so obvious it was a waste of bandwidth, then you repeated yourself. And I'm with the badger.

So if i fix a motorbike to the rear deck of my car (and the tax disc is attached to that), I'll be ok?

no that would obstruct rearward vision

but I suppose if you put it so that you could still see out of one or more external mirrors then that might be OK - but I'm no legal expert

yes, trying not to upset the ancient befuddled minds that frequent this forum, some believe any old twaddle they read - ethanol, ZDDP, lead, octane, EU/DVLA/Government got it in for them personally, I have to allow for these sensitive and fragile minds

Seriously, this is the most pathetic thread in a long time.

Maybe you need to come up with something more obvious to indicate that you are attempting humour...

You mean I've now got to go outside in the freezing cold to take my tax disc out of my back window?






ffs!
