you knew that was going to happen on the tax disks....Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

What does it say that people don't believe number plate recognition is possible, or that computer system can keep track of whether you have tax or not, but were living in fear of a bobby on the beat walking around looking in your windscreen to check your tax?Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Makes me laugh, a neighbour of mine was driving around in two untaxed cars. Both of which were reported to the DVLA after having checked the vehicle status online and nothing was done for 9 months.In Scooter we trustComment

Yeh I didnt know you check the status online for cars you don't own.
Long running argument in my street with other neighbours with fella who parks his huge mobile home on the street. Then gets funny if someone parks in 'his' space - even though its not outside his house.
But Public road and taxed vehicle etc. Some of the neighbours get a bit too wound up.
Oops maybe not it appears...
He rents it out and uses it himself but looks like he tried to save a few quid by declaring it SORN during the winter and one of the neighbours checked.
DVLA (didnt know it was them that did it) came around and clamped it. He had to pay up the tax PLUS clamp/admin fee apparently. He was lucky it was a huge van or they'd have towed it off I heard.
Must admit that was funny.....Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

I don't get it though, say you forgot to tax it for a couple of months, then went online to tax it, surely the system would say "You've not submitted a SORN, here's a fine for you.." Or at least back date the tax?Originally posted by Nigel Farage MEP - 2016-06-24 04:00:00"I hope this victory brings down this failed project and leads us to a Europe of sovereign nation states, trading together, being friends together, cooperating together, and let's get rid of the flag, the anthem, Brussels, and all that has gone wrong."Comment

Cars used to get dumped in our road. You would report them and nothing. If the tax disk was out of date you sometimes could get them towed.
It stopped when we started photographing the people dumping them.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

That's another stupid bureaucratic obstacle for people who forget for a while, or move and don't receive their reminder, but want to do the Right Thing and renew their tax.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
