Longcol   594 #30 Posted November 19, 2017 you can only go so long with nil car tax before you become uninsured, but are you insured driving a car with no tax?  https://www.drivingtesttips.biz/driving-without-tax.html  IS CAR INSURANCE VALID WITHOUT ROAD TAX? Generally speaking, if a car is driven without any valid road tax, car insurers are still obliged to honour and pay for any claims made for the vehicle. Although driving without tax is an offence, it is irrelevant in most cases to what is stated as being a prerequisite for insurance cover.

Becky B Â Â 31 #31 Posted November 19, 2017 I think it's great! I used to have a 3 day window to get to the post office (because of the date I bought the car, and hence the insurance, and the date it was taxed from as I got it when there was still carryover) because it was over Christmas so the post offices were closed for a few days! I couldn't pay in any sort of instalment because the tax was so low they wouldn't let me :-) Now, I get a reminder, few clicks and it's done! Â I did hear a piece on the radio about the number of untaxed cars since the change, one caller said that because it's not so obvious, members of the public can't report untaxed vehicles any more.

speleo1 Â Â 10 #32 Posted November 19, 2017 Well you can report untaxed vehicles if you check online the reg to dvla,but unless they catch them they will run around untaxed as for no mot i think you may just get a fine, I know someone who as not taxed their vehicle since 2016 they have been reported still run around in it not been done yet, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
