Tax Disc..........

[ethariel]

If I ever find the thieving little F***ers that ripped it off my bike last night (Smashing my numberplate into 4 bits in the process of trying to nick that too) i will take great pleasure in castraiting them with a blunt wooden spoon.

Also having talked to a few folks at work, 4 out of 5 of us have had tax discs done in the past week, soooooooo.....

Keep an eye on em.

i keep mine under the seat well used to now since the new tax rule came into play i just leave it at home probably not meant to but I'm sure they can find out if my bike is taxed with the lil computers the police have in there cars

Where abouts do you live?

I carry mine in my wallet with a photocopy on the bike with "THEFT PREVENTION. ORIGINAL WITH OWNER." marked across it.

Never got in trouble with anyone for displaying a false disc - if anything most wardens or coppers who have even noticed have commented that it a good idea (better than having nothing there they said).

I know a number of people here scan theirs, print it and put that on the bike - at a glance it's hard to tell the difference.

I had one lost (wife threw it away as it had been on the side for weeks when the bike was garaged over Christmas) - went to the post office to get a replacement but need to send off, with your log book, and £7 - I don't think I'll bother.
