Car tax disc
I've noticed a car near to where I live with a tax disc with no writing on it.
It has the expiry date and a PO stamp, but it doesn't have the registration, class details and cost, the writing hasn't faded, it doesn't look like it was ever wrote on.
How is it possible to get a tax disc like it? It expires in December 2014.

Not uncommon with Post Office issued discs, the ink fades over time. Doesn't seem to happen with the printed ones.0

you can always use the DVLA website to see if its really taxed.

Never look at another vehicles tax disc.
- It is nosy
- anyone seeing you will think you are somehow connected with enforcement, so you could easily wake up to find your garden gnomes have no heads :eek:
- It is depressing to see that a car 5 times the size of yours somehow has got into band A and pays £20 tax, whereas your minute hatchback is in band G and costs £180.
I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

You could always replace the disc with the label from a Guinness bottle. 0 -
Do people really go around inspecting other people tax discs?0

Perhaps you have misunderstood me.
Folks used to display a Guiness label, back in the day (perhaps when Queen Victoria was a little boy) as it was supposed a bobby couldn't tell the difference on a moving car as it went past.
Or so they say - of course I wouldn't know. 0
