Technically you're supposed to drive to your nearest MOT test station... I'd guess it all depends on how much of a jobsworth the copper is if you got stopped!! My local MOT place is like a half mile from my house, so not really an issue for me!!
We live in an age of choice - within reason. I have booked MOTs in the past in my choice of test centre - but it wasn't the one closest to me. I didn't have a problem - but then I didn't use the motorway network to get there.
Donkeys years ago, father-in-law found a new tax disc in the street, so gently scratched out the vehicle details, and got 3 new tax disc holders for his cars, wrote the car details on the plastic and just swapped the blank disc over to whichever was being used, for a year... Absolutely disgraceful behaviour I say..
Tax it ffs Ricky ,youve just had some good Karma recently dont blow it I wouldnt mind ,I'd well chance it mate as long as youve got your excuse about post office they'd be OK I reck as long as your insured and have an MOT. But I'm an idiot
Been caught for no tax years ago , they didnt have crushers then , i got a fine , the thing was though i was on way to tax the bugger , or you could claim to be a do as you likey , they dont have tax , insurance or manners
Except the paper disc is all but redundant these days. Cops don't even bother looking at them anymore, they just rely upon the DVLA database. They're actually talking about abolishing them because it'll save them some money now it's all online.
^ thats the most sensible thing theyve done in ages! Our postman lost two of my tax discs within two days' despatch from the DVLA!!
And still ask you if you'd like 6 or 12 months It always reminds me of The life of Brian, Crucifixion? Na freedom actually... Go on then off ya go.. Not really, crucifixion.
i drove my car for nearly a month without tax....sorry to all you goody goodies... i genuinelyforgot then it took a while for tax disc to come through... i also went camping with my tax disc for molly locked in my car glove box... again forgot to put it in the window...all has been fine... as for bella im not sure if she's sorn or just not taxed...even though its free anyway...
