Got this leaflet today by post drom DVLA saying that if u buy your tax online or by phone, its ok to drive up to 5 days after your tax disk expired.
" From 1 September 2008, if you pay for your tax by phone or online before the current tax disc runs out, they you legally drive or keep your vehicle on the road whilst displaying the tax disc that run out, for up to five days(giving time for your new tax disc to arrive by 1st class post)

It's a good idea but is the bobby on the beat and the do gooders in our world going to accept that as a valid excuse? I know the traffic Police cars have access to DVLA systems but I'm not sure the Panda cars do.
This could end in tears
