Tax disc

[mr_smith126]

So out came the tax disc now it has become redundant, but it felt odd without the little fella in the window.

So I made a new one to suit.... needs some fine tuning but gives an idea..

TBH im just glad to be rid of mine, fair play for the work you've done though!

Never understood why people like those fugly things. I much prefer how clean unobscured windshield looks.

Me too. Always thought they really ruined a clean look! Couldn't wait to get rid of it

[Ekona]

Good effort

 

Now chuck it in the bin, as these things look awful on cars

[Jack wellZ]

They day it could come out I took it out and I also prefer the clean look without it. But if you like the look go for it, and nice work on the custom one

[GMballistic]

Looks pretty authentic so kudos for that but pretty sure most people will just think;

 

"look at that idiot, he's still got a tax disc in his window when we don't use them anymore"

 

If you like it though that's all that matters.

[Zeezeebaba]

Good work there but personally I prefer the new system and a nice clean windscreen.

[mr_smith126]

So that = fail!

Just a tester to see if I liked it.. Thought it could have reminder dates on it like mot etc..

[ChrisS]

Could have saved yourself all that trouble.

It looks very good ,but therin lies your problem the boys in blue would construe an offence of forgery of an official document,please check the legality of displaying it as it may be a different position now they officially dont exsist but when they did a frie of mine actually recieved a custodial of 6 months for making a copy of a disc and displaying it ,although he didnt have taxx on the vehicle and was doing it for the wrong reasons

[Ekona]

Not sure if serious...

[mr_smith126]

Lol, thought this might spark a bit of controversy..

Not sure if I like it myself yet... I'm sure it'll end up being a clear screen but just an experiment at this point..

[techinstaller]

I was very serious in advising caution ,but of course then it was an official document .Now interesting point is if they are no longer in use or legal would you be committing an offence ?.

My mate did actually get 6mths in custody ( quite ironic the 6mths i thought given it was a 12 mth forgery tax disc)

[Ekona]

Of course there's no offence being committed: How can there be, for forging something that no longer exists, especially when it's very clear that it's a fake?

 

Your mate's an idiot for trying that, btw.

[brillomaster]

sorry, really dont see why someone would want a tax disc in their window... mine was binned the day it was no longer required.

 

Also, have you heard the paper counterpart licence is to be scrapped soon? i think i'll burn mine, but i'll have to find it first... i've been using a copy of it for so long, have no idea where the original is, or if it even exists...

Your mate has committed plain fraud. He got convicted for trying to make others believe that he paid his car tax, which was actually not the case.

 

I have checked the forgery offences. Forging a document is not really an offence in itself. There also has to be some kind of a fraudulent intent present. You have to have the intention to actually deceive someone with that document. Therefore it would perfectly safe for OP to display his 'fake' disc.

I use my holder for my work parking permit. It's still ugly in the windshield but it needs to be there.

[david85williams]

Sorry dude I have no idea why you would want to stick a tax disk in your window when you don't have to. Each to their own I suppose, after all we are a strange bunch of people!

The advice from the DVLA is to shred the paper part. But what happens when you want to hire a car? Especially abroad. I have always needed my paper part in the US to hire a car. Not sure I will get rid of my paper version at all, no harm in it sat in my folder

[brillomaster]

One hopes that the big car hire companies will be aware of the change, but even so, we're hiring a car in spain just after the change - think i'll keep it till then just to be on the safe side.

 

Assuming I can find it in the first place!
