chrishill 0 Posted August 30, 2004 My road tax expires today, and all the postoffices are shut :? I know they changed the rules recently, but do i still get a couple of weeks 'grace' to renew or has that gone now? I cant even ring the DVLA cos' their offices are closed! I also thought they were supposed to sed you a renewal letter, i've not had one! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevemac 0 Posted August 30, 2004 Well I had to get my brothers last month and due to other factors I didnt manage to get it until the 6th or 7th. Nobody said a thing. Somebody will have been sent an automatic fine though :roll: The fine will have been sent to the last known owner/address on the registration document, unless the "SORN" was sent in to the DVLA.

kvwloon 0 Posted August 30, 2004 Joining the long queues in the Post Office tomorrow then I take it! I always plan to get a disc in advance, but never do and always end up with the umpteen other people queing who wait til the last minute! As mentioned above though, no grace period, friend of mine got spotted and fined and he was only a few days over! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quikstu 0 Posted August 30, 2004 Remember that you now need to show a current certificate of insurance to the old biddy at the post office when applying for new road tax! I didn't & had to drive the 8mile round trip again to get it! Doh. :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't have the reminder note you need to take your V5 and fill out a big-ass form :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and also, what with the pre-historic nature of the Post Office, I don't think they take credit cards either :roll: mine certainly doesn't for postage stuff, it might do for road tax and the like tho...
