Renewing your vehicle tax online

[tractor]

Don't even bother today!

True to form the new discless system comes in force and you cannot even renew. Pages won't load and timeout. Been like it since yesterday.

Page performance graph looks like they stress tested it once during the last year and it has had zero visits in between.

Morons.

I wouldnt bother even when it is working. Wifie has a personal plate on her old banger and the look up function couldnt find the car despite the fact its been carrying the plate for the last 12 years.

WTFs that about?

Be thankful. At least they can't sell your details to Nigerian politicians who want to give you $420,000,456,128 but just need your bank details

Still got a tax disc that expires e/o 05/2015.

Seems a bit wrong just throwing it in the bin, considering the price I paid for it.

I'm using it as a coaster for my brew instead. The most expensive coaster to ever exist.

Not by a long shot. Try these.

Or $100,000,000 for this.

DVLA Website: Total Inability To Support Usual Performance

Unprecedented demand tonight. We built to scale but 6000 a minute is causing slow response. Around 250K have taxed tonight so keep trying

How many million cars are in the UK?

Divide by 12 and that gives you a rough estimate

edit:
almost 40 million

3.3 million month. 250K seems a bit short of that, even considering that folks with a bit of foresight might not have waited until the last minute

Why leave it to the very last day before it expires to renew?

You can still renew in the post office and also over the phone 24/7 now.

I'll be setting up an annual direct debit when mine expires at the end of the year and then I can forget about having to renew it again.

Sorry to sound smug, but I did mine last friday and romped through the pages with no problem.

edit: Ah, but thinking about it I used their old pages (as I don't like the sound of "beta" where money is involved!)

Stupid question - is the new process that you can only pay monthly for your tax? Some fella on R4 was talking about how all cars will now be sold as untaxed.
