Taxed, but no tax disc

[andy_quantum]

Heres one for you

I got a new car today, and was enjoying the soft top down drive home. Unfortunately the tax disc didnt have the same enjoyment, and merrily made its way out of the car whilst at motorway speed

I'm covered on a short term policy which I took out thinking I would buy the car (but not wanting to have to pay a full premium or cancellation fees) so I am insured until Monday afternooon

Given that the existing tax is going to run out at the end of the month, can I take my short term cover note, my little green remainder of the V5 and get taxed Monday am?

and in the mean time just worry about failure to display, but that's not too serious
