~*uk peeps help CE*~

My car tax ran out a few days ago, and I just ordered it online should arrive in about 5 days…

My question is can I still drive my car without the tax disc?

someone tell me quick, need to know for tomorrow morning..:bummer:

Re: ~uk peeps help CE~

Yes U can .....

If guards stop you by chance , touch the wood , tell them nicely that you paid that thing online therefore you are waiting for your disc to arrive in few days

All they will do , ask you to present it to the nearest station of your choice within 14 days . Once received , pay a visit to them :D

Re: ~uk peeps help CE~

The law is you have to display tax disc, so you can't drive. But technically you already payed, if they stop you, you can tell them , they have Gizmo's to check righ away. Hopefully they will let you go. But its better to wait.. !

yes you can have ur recipient printed out

Finance Act 2008 (c. 9) - Statute Law Database

also most police run cars through the database so it should be fine as that is updated.

^ Tomorrow will be the first time I drive on icy roads, so have to make sure im covered, and plus I received my first parking ticket last week dont want a repeat of tht either:bummer:

apney apney experience ki baat hai, mine is very much different !

Yes CE, it aint USA where people pay taxes on time .. .:p

yeah yeah I would of paid it on time but I was too lazy to walk to the post office in the snow....

Drive,brake,turn slowly and pay attention to where is the steering going.. oh yeh important tip which even most of experience drivers lack:

if you do skid, then don’t start crying …turn the wheels into the direction of skid.. hopefully car will get stable..

Re: ~uk peeps help CE~

I wouldnt risk it. Wait for the tax disc.

This seems like some helpful advice, I think best thing to do is to drive at a spead of 5 mph :hmmm:

Idhar Udhar ka tu nahii maloom but on a serious note , we dont have policemen VISIBLY carrying guns.

The reason the death of a police officer makes such headline news here is that it is such a rare occurence, meaning that they are not in imminent danger.

Police officers here believe if they carry a firearm , it would isolate them from the public

Gawd i gona miss the place :)

You are in Europe correct ?

well here , when we make a Genuine excuse , they dont consider it a LIE :)

Am in Ireland :) Republic of Ireland :)

Awww :)
