DVLC rip off

[Vipers]

No doubt everyone knows this, but time for an evening rant.

Road tax expires end of Feb. Wife doesn't drive, and I am off out of UK next week to work overseas, thought I would re tax the car before I go.

Knowing how wonderful computers are, it was no surprise that the DVLC web site knew my tax expired end of Feb. so far so good.

When I tried to renew the road tax, it said it would renew it from 1st January. Which means I would have paid two months TWICE.

This is surely an easy fix for DVLC programmer, good old rip off Britain.

Luckily I can, some sites still have no wi-if, but what a rip off.

Knowing a little about complex govt systems - the programming "fix" will not be simple. And the process around it, even less so.

Your probably right, so basic design flaw allowing you to tax a car which is already taxed.
