No, mine fell off yesterday. Just going to take the one off the bike now and I`ll take the wifes out of her Mokka when she gets home from work. Think I`ll leave the one in the MGF since that ran out in 2008 and makes me think it really is about time I got it back on the road again every time I see it.

Stanley hasn't got one yet and I guess he won't be getting one now :) I posted Mr Zedder's and the Unnamed Fiesta's discs off yesterday and it felt odd, knowing that it was the last time I'd ever have a paper tax disc. Hopefully, the new system will be better though and certainly less stickers on my windscreen will be good. I hate stickers on the screen and have already had to peel two off Stanley :dry:

I left mine on till the official removal date, today, as I once got fined a fiver for failing to display it, that was in 1969 though :lol:

If you do get one, keep it, could be worth a bob or two as it'll be one of the last.

I wonder if the police could prosecute all of the people that are about to post on the internet 'Naaah mate, haven't had mine displayed for ages because thug life.'

Peeled mine off this morning about 6:45 as I set out for work, ran out yesterday so perfect timing

of course I still had to pay the extortionate fees to stay on the road though, feeling just a little bit more ripped off now though as I won't even get a paper receipt, just a email saying thank you for being mugged :lol:

I heard if you've still got months left on it, it still needs to be displayed?

 

Also i've seen someone post somewhere that someone was asking 'do i need to get my tax from my insurance now or do i just wait to get it with my MOT?'

 

REALLY??? lol

I got my tax yesterday I thought you could pay monthly? apparently not so paid the lot as usual, I got a receipt as went into postoffice...anyone want to buy an aluminium tax disc holder? :lol:

I thought it could be payed monthly too but after checking the gov.co blah blah website the option to set up monthly DD comes in from 1st November so I'm gutted as I had to shell out £260 for 6 months tax, skint now :( roll on payday

I got mine last month so its probably the last one sent out? Full year at £485.

 

Are you saying I can now keep it for 20 years then sell it for millions ;)

Taxed the BM for 6 months last week when I picked it up. Hopefully DD will work as flawlessly in NI as I'm sure it will on the mainland because we currently still have to produce our insurance at the Post Office when taxing.

I had my screen replaced last Thursday, since then I've not had time to find some replacement stickies to place it back on the screen.

 

So I'd say you're well slow Pete :lol::)

It said on sky news earlier this morning that the Number Plate Recognition "thinggy", misreads over 1 million registrations per day.

 

Mines up for renewal November 1st, just in time for direct debit..

To remove the now redundant tax disc? :)
