New Road Tax display rules

I don't see that there will be any change in the number of non-payers.
There will be an increase in the number of ANPR cameras and the DVLA already have a data base for exactly that purpose - the disc serves no purpose.
I think this from the DVLA sums it up:
"We have a proven track record in making vehicle tax easy to pay but hard to avoid, with over 99% of all vehicles taxed. Given the systems now in place we take enforcement action direct from our electronic records rather than requiring a tax disc."
That's still 230,000 cars not being taxed.
Sounds a lot but maybe not in the scale of things - wonder if untaxed are also more likely to be uninsured as well though?Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
no disc will be sent out - i just bought my car tax and it said clearly on the confirmation that no disc will be sent due to new legislation/no longer need to display one.Debt Free 08/08/2014 :beer:

Even if you still have a current disc in your vehicle on October the 1st you can remove it if you want or just leave it be.0

Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. 0 -

i think it's brilliant, im guessing tax is almost always checked by computer anyway, so it's just making it relevant and up to date.
plus we'll have a bit more clearer view from the drivers seat - just need council residents parkinng to get with it0 -

Very handy for the Low Emission Zone Permit.

The Scam is they want to rid themselves of the cost of printing discs but keep the element of outdated monthly runs.
A fair system would run from the day you paid and refund to the day you surrender.
This pocketing 2 months payments is probably unlawful and lets hope someone takes them on.
They want the benefits of a computer system that suit them but want to scam us twice as much whilst doing it.
I would be very interested to see if what they are pulling off here is actually legal.I do Contracts, all day every day.0 -
