Not until it arrives, there is a 5 day grace period, after which you aren't allowed to drive the car (or have it on a public road). If you pay online and it doesn't arrive you can call the DVLA and they will get a new one printed at your local DVLA office for you to pick up.:A If saving money is wrong, I don't want to be right.

The flaw in your plan here will likely see your car towed and scrapped if you decide against paying for tax.

And you'll be helping keep your local Post office in business instead of giving all the money to the DVLA and the Chancellor.
