Car Tax reminder..

Seeing the new system makes you buy tax when you purchase the car it should be relatively easy to remember when you bought it.

People have better things to do then check every 5 minutes if the tax needs renewing and without a disc now how do you quickly check anyway?

Grow up. Its either 6 or 12 months not 5 minutes. If you cant remember when it expires then write it down, yes find a pen and write it down!
This is your fault.

Alternatively perhaps someone could come up with a small business to manufacture a small (say 3 inch diameter) circle of paper for people to place in their windscreen printed with a reminder of when their vehicle excise duty payment is due? Perhaps coloured differently for each year?

There's nothing to stop someone leaving the old one there, and glancing at it occasionally.

So lets say they stop sending reminders. There is nothing on the car now to suggest it needs renwewing. What are the chances that a good percentage of people don't realise? I say very high.

If you rely on the reminders and they don't arrive thats not my fault is it? How 2 can go missing is beyond me.

Have you checked your MOT recently?

You don't get a reminder for that either so based on your lack of checking you could well be driving without an MOT as well.
