Taxing a vehicle part way through the month.
Hi all, To clear up a matter for a friend of mine. If he taxes his motorbike half way through the month, do they charge for the whole month or from the day that he taxes it?

Yesterday I saw the reg "002 007" (which I don't even understand how it's a reg) on a really cheap, crappy Honda. I'm assuming that number plate is really rather expensive. I'm noticing it more and more - very exclusive number plates on very old, very cheap cars. What's the reason for this?

I've got a dispute with a garage over my car, which doesn't look like getting resolved.
