Did'nt know until today until I heard it on the radio.

My missus was telling me a few months ago about it (she's a driving instructor)
Everything is done through computer anyway so it won't make much difference.

There's going to be a few bods who will try to cream it...

As always, as soon as they go by a traffic car it will ping up through the PNC.
If your a legit driver then nothing to worry about.
My wife's wee mini is zero road tax, still needs a tax disc & still got a receipt for paying nothing!!! [emoji1]

One thing I can't seem to find the answer to is, my disc is valid until March 2015 so do I have to re-register that disc? I'm assuming not as that would cause insane amounts of extra work at the dvla for no reason, surely I just need to wait until it runs out and then do it the new way?

Probably after October your'll be able to take it out as your on the system as payed...

It would seem daft to have to cash in the old one and then register the new way, however I wouldn't put it past the dvla!

Kerrie told me something about it last couple of weeks or so.
As you say wouldn't put it past DVLA..

There also a bit about if you buy a car off someone the car tax is'nt transferable anymore...
