Before I start, yes I know I shouldnt!
Bought a car last weekend, I was going to SORN it until the end of the month, but it is still showing as being taxed online. The seller was going to send the log book off (dont know if he just didnt realise that you could now do it online or not).
So...Its still showing as taxed online, and I fancy a short spin in it to blow the tyres up, get a feel for it, etc. Will it flag an ANPR (or whatever they are called) as having no tax if it shows as having it online?
