newstar Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 You will need a valid tax disc, or declare it off-road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deltic Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 If you apply and pay for your new road tax online today, and print out the page at the end which shows you have done so, to put in your windscreen, you might get away with it. If not from tomorrow it will appear as a vehicle without tax or a SORN. I would think that would flag up automatically on a police car's ANPR systems.

I assume OP saying she can't tax it until the 8th, is probably because she has no money to do so until the 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madgesmum Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Then it has to be declared as off-road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich951 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Due to a major administrative ****-up (ie I completely forgot ), ours didn't get renewed for ages. I got a letter through saying "IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE!", but that didn't come through until the middle of the month *after* - so when it was 6 weeks overdue. We may get a fine in due course, but managed to avoid any spot fines - helps that it's our second car and only gets used for a relatively small number of shortish journeys. I wouldn't have dared drive on any major roads that might had had ANPR cameras... once I knew about it of course! For what it's worth, when I finally renewed it the website said that it was backdated a month but still left a gap and I was liable for the offence. I've never had that before, and have occasionally done it up to a week late - so I wouldn't sweat it too much about the 8th unless you need to do some long journeys.

Gazza58 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Put a note in the windscreen where the disk should go saying "its in the post" That would have been a good idea in 1972:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nat85 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks for your replies, it's not that I havent got the money I'm not in Sheffield and haven't got the reminder letter or my log book with me and you can't tax it by telephone or online without one of them! Think I'll just risk it, I'm not using the car and it's on my drive until I return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavydog Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Does anyone know how long can you leave it before you tax your car? Its due today but I'm not able to tax it till 8th... Is that too late? Thanks (I would phone dvla but there on strike!!) oh dear, the tax expires at midnight on the last day of the month. after that your car is not taxed unless an application is in with d.v.l.a. if you use the car and it is picked up by apnr camera it is notified as untaxed. and i am wondering how this affects your insurance if you get a pull. dvla send out reminders at least 2 weeks before renewal is due, so there is plenty of notice given. and just out of curiosity what is the situation on your mot? this could be expensive!!
