After October DVLA are no longer issuing paper tax discs - apparently the Police and Traffic wardens that used to pick non taxed vehicles this way don't do this now. After October they will rely on ANPR cameras - So in theory , currently it is an offence to not display your tax disc. - but not after October... So can you risk it ? ie chances of you being stopped by the boys in blue? ANPR camera will show you as being taxed... For me being where I live and the places I drive to and leave my car i'd probably be ok... however if the car looks like it could do with a "pull" ie looks a bit tatty and old (nor suggesting yours does
) it may increase the risk.!
