If you do it online today, at least you will be taxed, but because you did not renew it online yesterday you will not qualify for the 5 (working) days grace, so you could theoretically be booked for 'failing to display', However I don't think any cop would be so harsh and be such a jobsworth. If you get somesort of email print out reciept, you could put that on the dash with a note saying "applied online".
Personally I would drive it today -only if I had to- and renew it on Monday, as with the postal strikes, I would not want to have to worry about the tax disc not arriving. You could still tell a white lie and put a note on the dash saying "applied onine" to deter someone giving you a ticket.0 -
did not have time to renew yesterday. i have all the papers for renewing it . can i drive the car today and get renewed it on Monday as not sure there is anywhere i can sort this out today?
thanks in advance.

If you drive it today you are committing an offence. (Sunday isn't a day off for the law).
But you know that, so why are you asking???0 -

Nahh not perfect but for someone to say that they never had time to get their car tax when they have a full two weeks beforehand is a poor excuse in my book.Nature wants the human race to survive. However, it does not depend on us because we are not its only invention.0 -

And say they had some MOT work to get done, and this was only completed Yesterday, but no time to get to the PO?
The law is an !!! (3 letter word for a donkey) in its inflexibility. When you eventually tax in the following month the tax is always backdated to the start of the month, so there is no missing period, so what's the big deal?
The law should be changed so that no crime is committed until there has been a complete month of missing tax.
And when you buy a car with mot, without tax, you can insure it immediately over the phone/internet, but you can't tax it temporarily or otherwise - ( a 3 day temporary tax payment over the phone or internet would be nice) So you are stuck with having to move a car home without tax - a victimless costless crime which should not be an offence.0 -

And thats exactly why you can get your MOT done up to a month before it runs out and get a 13 MOT certificate so you dont lose out.Nature wants the human race to survive. However, it does not depend on us because we are not its only invention.0
