Car Road Tax is changing!!

[The Saint]

Hi just seen this on the DVLA web site and thought I would share..

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dire ... e-tax-disc

This may help for those of us that only use their cars for a short amount of time in the year...

So no more Tax discs from October!! ( Remember, you heard it here first !! LOL)

Vince....

That will suit me well as I only uses the Venturi when it is nice wether, so about 5 times a year then!

It was announced before christmas

yeh I saw that too ...obscure thing on the telly called the nine o'clock news Vince

And the catch is...

No more transfer of unused tax when you buy a car. Helps with the continuous insurance enforcement.

So they want me to give the worst '1984' totalitarian institute (the DVLA) a direct debit facility....
No chance. I wouldn't trust them not to blind themselves with a stapler let alone give them the possibility to empty my account (all £5.30) and then take 12 months telling me that it's not a mistake, and eventually 12 months later confirming it was a mistake but it was my fault (for being stupid enough to give them the oppertunity of F*cking it up)!

I'll see your DVLA and raise you an HMRC.

Too true, useless bunch of!!!

have some history with them

Their local offices could be cr4p but there was usually a few sensible people there which you'd get to eventually, but dealing with Swansea is a 1000% nightmare.
Now they've closed all the local offices, theres no voice of reason in the place.
One day someone will drive down there with a shotgun and run amok, and he/she'll be doing the same thing thousands of others have thought of doing but not had the bottle (including me).
