Yes, it is.

Now tax can be checked electronically, can anyone think of any need to actually have the requirement to display the tax disc, apart from making money from people who don't?

Perhaps cloned vehicles? But I tend to agree.

Very good point.

As I understand it, the authorities give one months' grace before automatically fining you. However, if a policeman (or traffic warden?) spots an out-of-date tax disc they can theoretically issue a fine immediately.

In my (clueless) opinion, they don't realistically bother to look at tax discs any more, unless you've really p1ssed them off .

Last time I did one at Post Office they scanned the barcode on the reminder and didn't check docs I think they have the same system as the website

Post Office can't check the Insurance only the MOT, as they do not have access to the Motor Insurance Database.
