99% failure rate! Why? Is it that folk do not know or do not care?
Failure of what? You're not required to display it any more does not equate to you must instantly remove the VED disc on October 1st? So 0% failure rate.99% failure rate! Why? Is it that folk do not know or do not care?
I've put a Guinness label in one car and the other still has its (valid) tax disc.

Err . . they have failed to remove the VED disc. As in not having done it. 99% have failed to do so.
That's what I said.
Who says that you have to remove the VED disc?That's what I said.
I am genuinely surprised how few people have removed the discs and am wondering why this is so.

Nobody. Especially me. But why have unnecessary junk stuck to the windscreen?

It's a piece of the windscreen I have managed to live without for 30 years so I have no desperate urge to liberate it.I am genuinely surprised how few people have removed the discs and am wondering why this is so.

Okais, to update my thread - not a particularly scientific test I grant you, but I have been tax-disc free for two weeks now.
Plus, as another interesting 'sub experiment' - I have also been displaying a pair of brand-new numberplates. Nothing unusual about that maybe - apart from the fact that I have been a totally death-defying maverick, and gone for a pair of pressed-aluminium plates
My last set of acrylics were only 2 years old, but had started to de-laminate, which looked horrendous - plus the rear plate had started to get that 'cloudy, sun-bleached look' too.
I did a lot of internetz research on metal plates first - and I chose a company who is 'DVLA registered' as an 'approved supplier', who makes only fully legal plates. The plates have the maker's name and postcode on them, plus the BSAU145d stamp. They conform to the DVLA regulations of being made from a retroreflective material, and all that jazz. There are a lot of scare stories on the net about run-ins with the BiB about these plates, but I have decided that, on balance, I'll probably be ok
Anyway, in the last 2 weeks, I have driven past numerous ANPR equipped Police Cars, and past traffic lights / bridges etc. also fitted with ANPR cameras. And I even got a parking ticket last week, which although annoying, did not mention or discuss the lack of a tax disc, or non-conforming plates. And I do know from experience that most traffic wardens are pretty on the ball on that score.
Hmmm, I think I might start a separate thread about metal number plates now!
