How can people 'forget' to renew their MOT/Insurance/Tax?

[ITVYORKS]

I run 3 cars (No. I'm not rich, two are classics.)
They are insured,taxed and mot'd. I have a diary in which I write down when everything is due.I'm not perfect but I can't believe the number of dipsticks on here that can't even remember when their insurance expires!
Anyone else get fed up of reading the same old questions on here or is it just me?

What i cannot understand is when you want to post a question you are shown a page that you should look at to see if your question has already been posted.

Why don't the dipsticks read it?

I have an online calendar that pops up reminders about important stuff - a month in advance for insurance, car tax and mot. And every week until the date.

It's free.

nice one toureman

[ITVYORKS]

Yep. Saw the page.Couldn't be Ars*d reading it.

[Toureman]

And you don't need to tax proper Classic cars.

[Panic Button]

Yes but I believe you still have to renew the disc for Classics.

[ITVYORKS]

Yes Panic Button. That's correct.

Not everybody is as well organised as yourself, ITVYorks. We all live our lives in different ways, and prioritise ourselves differently.
I, too, am of a predominantly analytical behaviour type - like yourself, but can still appreciate that not everybody works the same way.
As the saying goes ' these things are sent to try us!'
