First thing I did was bin mine. Never liked anything in my window anyway .
All stickers are off my truck except 4x4 response.
I did see a novel idea for the old disc holder mind, and that was as an emergency biscuit holder

Always hated the tax disc & mine got ripped off from the screen a couple of hours before you didn't have to show them as the T2 was parked on the drive. Got some funny looks of people for a few weeks when they noticed I didn't have a tax disc showing

I must be old school cos I'll miss mine

I also think that it's made buying a car privately a lot more difficult too, remember the tax doesn't go with the car so all cars are effectively sold without tax.

Not a bad idea at all!!!!

Does he make them to order or does he just have set dates?

I'd like my actual Tax renewal date on there

Scan the old one, photoshop it, print it... sorted.

Use the wifes sewing machine, or indeed your own lol, with no cotton in, to make the little perforations around the edge.

Problem is, they will always be the same colour, unless you kept a few from previous years to scan lol...

In fact, why not have one of your own say five years old, or even 20 years old, if you have had your vehicle that long lol..

. that will confuse the traffic warden

The Dvla always advise a month in advance of your tax expiry

firebobby · 24-01-2015, 16:21

Just wonder how much the DVLA are saving now the discs aren't printed and posted any more, I bet it's a few quid in the coffers and can't say I noticed the cost of tax had gone down. Appears to e creeping up every year.

I'm in the Toyota MR2 club and have a tax disc that shows how long the MR2 has been around 1984 to 2014 30 years and going strong, could we do the same here ??

More than 5% as I believe that's what we are saving now there is no paper
