car tax question
My car has been SORN since i've been unwell. OH has just applied for a new tax disc online, and paid for it. However, it can take up to 4 days to arrive.
Can I drive the car in the meantime? |

Re: car tax question
Yep... didn`t you get an email giving you a reference number? I taxed online after my tax had run out and was still able to drive even though it took 2 days for the tax disc to arrive

Re: car tax question
Yes, print off the confirmation email and carry it with you just in case. The police can call it in and get the full details if they wanted to.

Re: car tax question
As others have said, you can drive.
Just be aware that if you get some pedantic jobsworth, it's an offence to not display the disc. No points, but I believe it's a £60 fine. That would only really happen though if you were stopped for some other reason. |

Re: car tax question
Baph, Fail to display a valid VEL is not an offence cops can pot you for any more.

Based on Pete's information, yes, you're OK. So long as you can actually show it, I don't see the issue.
