car tax

[condor66]

I have just taxed my car online as I forgot to tax it today. Is it legal for me to drive it before the disc arrives?

[mickrog]

yes......5 days i think

[chrissa1]

Yes. You've paid for it and it will be shown on the DVLA computer. You won't "ping" any ANPR machines. As soon as it comes it must be dispayed though.

[condor66]

Thank you both :)

Yes just to confirm you have 5 days.I ordered mine on Monday in a panic then read the form! Mine still isn't here!

Just watch where you park - some over zealous ****s like nothing better than sticking a ticket on for 'not displaying'. You should then be able to get it overturned, but it is a faff.

There is a 'note' on the reminder you would have received from DVLA explaining that you have 5 days grace as long as you tax vehicle before midnight tonight
Have just done mine.
