The one on my V6, I presume someone else did it as it didn't want to come off..

The good thing is if I ever get a new windscreen, I wouldn't have to fiddle with another disc holder

yep this also means that dvla will make more money if a car is sold mid month as the seller loses a month and so does the buyer.Cavalier342 wrote:Hang on a minute, the government has properly effing up there!!!! So if you buy another car, you have to tax it immediately!!! So no more buying and driving off like it always has been? That's ridiculous!!! Insurance I can understand but road tax??? That's the most stupid thing I've heard. Basically buyers will lose out on this... Which means sellers will have to lower the selling price to accomodate that. Again, thank you Mr. Government, for purposely ruining the private car trade market!!

when the seller sells, if they have paid up front (12 or 6 months (seemingly now 100% and 50% of the cost) no premium for 6 months worth) they will get back any whole months on a prorata basis as we always did, get nothing back if they have used the new month by month (with a 5% premium by the way, not 10% as before) direct debit system, as it will cease when the seller sends off the signed and dated V5, and about time too! - I have been waiting for years for the easy way to have say 3 or 4 months tax over the summer without having to send the disc off registered post well before the end of the calendar month because you just know it get it will lost again by the local PO, eventually get a note back saying it's sorned, wait a month, sometimes 3 weeks though when they are being uber efficient, it varies, then finally get a frigging cheque back from then that needs a special trip to the bank to pay in, when I paid them electronically by debit card in the first instance, cheque cashes just in time to want to use the car again anyway.
The new owner will be liable for RFL straight away and damn right too! thus catching out people like the thieving pikey scum who buy a car, leave a false address and drive it maybe taxed to start with then not taxed, without changing details and evading ANPR cameras, or doing a bunk when the cops pull them, hopefully minimising the amount of cars "in limbo" between owners.
We all agree losing the disc is a crap idea as we love them as a visual reminder. The new process to buy the RFL is no problem, shame you dont get a disc though.
Now, when one of the aforementioned turds of society leaves a rusty piece of crap outside my house blocking my drive with no disc in it, I will be forced to get all modern and smartphoney and get on my app on an overloaded website to find out how long the tax has been out of date for before I call the 5-0, as I haven't got an ANPR camera as yet outside my house, just a normal one to catch the crapping dogs.
My discs are staying in, all four.
They're not even charging the same as before. It's been going up by £5 every year since I started driving and this year is no exception.joe cavalier sri wrote: its all a scam to save the government money but charge us the same as before

I can't believe it's £230 now. I wouldn't mind if that money actually went into maintaining the roads but it doesn't.
