Driving without Car Tax

No....a patrol car with ANPR will be waiting outside the dealership, down the high street, outside the petrol station, or even outside your house.On that basis 15 miles should be ok then.... you would thinkThe greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
That will not wash, I'm afraid. If the car already has an MOT, there won't be any need to book it in for one. On to of that, you would have to prove why it was necessary to be driving fifteen miles away from your home to get to an MOT station.davemorton wrote: »Cant you book it into an MOT at the nearest garage, then at least you have an excuse to be driving part of the way?

Friend in work had this problem (no insurance paperwork) but the local tax office was able to confirm he was insured from the Motor Insurance Database and give him a tax disc.0

then the dealer waits 2 weeks for the log book to return in his name before he can send it back again with the new owners details,2 weeks later still the new owner gets his log book. a lot of messing around methinks, plus 1 more owner on the bookBe Alert..........Britain needs lerts.0 -

So, the car is now in the name of the dealer and not his customer? I can't see many of them being comfortable with that, would you. Besides, the new owner will not be insured to drive the car? I don't think the dealer's insurers would be very happy either.Deleted_User wrote: »Dealer takes blank new keeper slip, MOT, and his trader insurance cert to Post Office.

Just chance it. Use back roads if you can. How many times have you seen an ANPR camera on a country lane? Your not risking any penalty points. Good luck.0
