What's happening to it?

You won't need it anymore, police can check online for all the things you need to have to be legal on the road.

DVLA will probs save some dosh by letting it all be electronic.

 

When you think about it, sending off for a peice of perforated paper, then tearing  it from around the perforations ( an art I have never mastered) and then either bending it up and  forcing it into a bit of plastic, stuck haphazardly on your windscreen, or cellotaping it on... does seem a bit quaint and archaic now.

Electronics don't always work whereas a bit of perforated paper on the windscreen is always there to be seen
I don't drive btw

I will miss them - its an integral part of your car and part of our culture

Although i don't normally like badges on cars generally

 

What am gonna do woth my very posh Alloy and carbon fibre tax disc holder?

 

All those companies making these accessories will suffer

I'm with the'Something stuck on the windscrene' brigade. I'm sure it would be cheaper to re-design the disk!  

 

Using technology for technology's sake, is not always the answer!

I will...mainly cos we've just bought a zero road tax car  

Vehicle tax Baz. If it was truly ROAD tax we'd all be paying it to some degree....even  cyclists and pedestrians!  

 

So anyway, what sort of car is that?

 

It's one of those quirky things we do. It's 'Vehicle Excise Duty' but most call it road tax.

I won't miss the hassle of getting one! But I do have all of them in the disc holder, I just never threw them out

Also-

I used to try to guess what colour they would be next

Citroen C1 EFFT  

 

Me too.

 

I wished I had kept all of mine now. I think they would make a nice piece of art framed - I have so many ideas on how to do them in frames as well.

 

 

Yes, they would have  

we have to display Tax disc, NCT disc and insurance disc.. half the fecking windscreens covered..

I always ended up ripping my new ones trying to detach them from their forms. They can go an bloody do one! 

 

 

It's in the news tonight and we are not far off October.

 

 

DVLA will be quits in because you have to get new tax when buying a second hand car. So they basically get 2 months instead of 1.

 

How about that 12 year old kid who collects them.

 

Me thinks he now needs a new hobby.

 

 

VELs and Insurance are mere fripperies round these parts.

We would miss it , but we no longer pay road tax  

I hanker for the old days when I had a sign in the front screen saying: 'Tax is in the post'.

Yes , those were the days Cologne  

 

I still have a bunch of old ones dating back years. I may select the best and have them framed as 'art'.

 

 that sounds really good.

Thanks. It just came to me as being unusual and likely not that common 

Yes, I will miss it.  It costs a fortune to tax our cars and I want some kind of token on my windscreen to show for it  

I have loads of them lol
But I won't miss it, it's hassle having to find my insurance & mot documents and then going to the post office.. And you before anyone says it, no I can't apply online for mine because it's due too soon after my insurance runs out...

I hope the new system has considered older people who may be baffled by it

You will have to buy vehicle tax from the day you buy a car, there is a few days grace before the ANPR updates,the current tax on the car is refunded to the seller.The tax will be attached to the owner of the vehicle(not  as in perforated circles though...) rather than the vehicle.You will be able to pay monthly though.

 

In January the paper part of the driver's licence will also become defunct, which has to be a good thing, as nearly everyone I know loses it almost the minute they get it.

Oh, I didn't know that ... I've still got an old fashioned green paper driver's licence, I expect they will make that defunct soon too

Chaos for people trying to renew their car tax today as the new system stalls:

Oh dear! I'm glad I renewed hubby's in the Post Office yesterday.

It did seem odd, not to get the tax disc.

Today is a sad day

I don't drive so have never needed one was that a helpful answer?  

Leave it  !!!
