    I'll just add that if the law were to allow "Driving from a point of purchase to a place of storage" This could easily be done with the proviso that the driver has with them
    *A bill of sale and/or
    *The V5 tear off slip

    And that is not even trying to address the fact that you still couldn't drive it legally after that for the next 2 - 4 days until your certificate arrived and you were able to buy a tax disc, which would (normally) result in you paying back dated tax for the days you weren't allowed to drive!

    Given that at least two people on this thread have said the law is stupid, absurd etc., it is by definition ridiculous. If you don't find it ridiculous then you're perfectly entitled to hold that opinion, but you can't deny the fact that I (and others) think the law is worthy of ridicule.

    Given that the law makes fine distinctions between situations where exemptions can and cannot apply, it is by definition discriminatory. Note I'm not even saying whether the exemptions are reasonable or ridiculous, the mere fact that the law contains exemptions for certain situations makes it discriminatory. That's a fact.

    Oh, and if you want to put up a post about how you can't be bothered to argue with the dictionary then I'm not going to stand in your way ;)

    Hilarious. And if you have so much time on your hands that you look up adjectives in a dictionary to justify pathetic points then I am not going to stand in your way! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Over and out as they say!
