Yeah. There must be millions of people in Korea now, not being able to feed their families as we are not buying non biodegradable plastic tat anymore.
Cameron is such an unfeeling bastard.  |

Pmsl ...Great idea, but we might have to all use vanilla pics to avoid upsetting the muggles.

"Bloody hell you can say that about everything now days there's machines that do 50% of the jobs people used to do years ago, times are changing "
This has been happening for years, all those machines that it was said we're to aid the work force have taken over it. Just now machines are getting better and better.
Has anyone seen the android receptionist, they look good but there goes another job out of the windows. |

"Stupid question, But does this only apply to cars where the tax disc starts from today, or can all cars(if they are taxed) take off the tax disc?"
Exactly what I wondered.Its not a stupid question. There is only one stupid question, and that's the one you never bother to ask !! |

"I heard the police got new technology to scan it in somehow  "
Lol not new technology, it's called the dvla data base your insurance, mot and tax is recorded there so they know if your taxed, motd and insured before they even stop you lol. |

My car has still got the tax disc in as well, only because I can't be bothered going out to take it off the windscreen. Next time I get in the car I'll do it  |

vehicles with paper tax discs can be removed from the 1st of october, it is advisable that they are removed prior to an mot as they will be categorised the same as windscreen stickers and similar to the air freshners that hang from interior veiw mirrors which could result in a Fail. (all depends how leniant the mot tester is on the day) |

how can they be classed as a fail if they arent a fail now? i thought windscreen stickers and cracks/chips only failed if they were in a specific area of the screen? |

"My new tax disc arrived in the post today bit superfluous realy am going to keep it safe and not cut it out of the letter may be worth something eventually "
There are Velologists (bit like stamp collectors) who collect them and the latest ones printed are better than money in the bank - do not throw them away |

Its a money making excercise for DVLA ..... for every car bought or sold - they gain one months road tax.
IE: buy a car on say the 15th of the month, the seller has to "remove" the tax, the buyer then has to tax the car again from the beggining of the month, which has already been paid for and the seller does not get any part months refund, so the reamaining months is paid for twice. |

so the dvla state that the whole transaction has to happen in 1 day?? wasnt aware they had those powers
advertise the car when ever you want but just make the final sale at the ed of the month to minimise any financial losses, not rocket science really

bump the price up and the buyer still has to tax it ?
Buying or selling a car with some tax on it was a selling (or buying) point.... all VEL now varies depending on emmisions of the vehicle - so if you see a car you like for instance , say £3 grand ...... you instantly have to find out the cost of the road tax. |

i don't understand how your last point is relevant? you would have to do hat when buying a car prior to the change today wouldn't you? i did when i bought my car 2 years ago.
looks like you'll be out of pocket when selling cars then as you seem to put hurdles in front of everything to suit your dvla theft theory lol |

yes it does ........ if you drive away the car on the same day you paid for it, but dont finalise the sale until the end of the month - which is illegal, because the seller has not declared it on the day it is sold and driven away |

Not strictly correct. within roughly 25cm (it may be incorrect) each side of the centre line of the steering wheel and within the swept area of the wipers, a blemish/crack/obstruction of more than 10mm is a fail if it obscures the driver VIEW OF THE ROAD. The rest of the swept area of the wipers the blemish/crack/obstruction must be 40mm or more to fail, again if it obscures the drivers view of the road. In theory where the tax disc is on the screen it's not in a place where it affects the drivers view of the road. like wise you could have a crack along the whole width of the windscreen within the swept area but if all the driver could see through it was the bonnet it would be a pass and advise |

Just read a story about two cops from Malvern who have designed an emergency medical info card to fit into old tax disc holders, they have made a free template that can be downloaded. |

No I'm pretty sure the Chinese factory's will have retooled and just dedicated the production run time to something else.
There's not a "tax disk factory" there is a multi purpose factory that gas a set of dies for its metal stamps or moulds for its injection or thermoform machines.
There isn't enough market for continuous production so they'll make a big batch sell them, retool The machines make something else, retool make something else etc.
