it is true that tax gives u two weeks or they used to but i wouldnt recomend driving a car with no tax or mot as they now keep mot's on a big computer base too and without tax or mot you'll then i take it be driving with no insurance!!

problem is if you have no mot and no tax and you are caught on the road they will throw the book at you. no mot on your car invalidates your insurance as well.

Im pretty certain you are right, you now have 2 weeks grace period to get your car taxed, after that you get fined

In South Carolina you are fined as soon as you are late. The fine isn't much though, like $10.00 or $15.00. We can also pay our car taxes online but I'm thinking you are not in the US. You can still be given a ticket from the police though.


c.j.davies
"Previously, motorists driving without a valid tax disc had to be spotted on the roads to be subject to a penalty. But from 1 January 2004, keepers of vehicles who have not paid their tax within the month will be identified from the DVLA computer database and will automatically receive an £80 penalty. This is reduced to £40 if paid within 28 days; but determined offenders could be faced with prosecution and a minimum £1000 fine. "

You have no grace to get your car taxed. As for your MOT you are allowed to drive an untaxed car to and from a PRE BOOKED MOT, you could be fined for having an untaxed car on the highway, currently £80.

MOTs and car tax are completely different. You need to go to the post office for tax or you may be able to do it online if you have the right form.

if your car needs an MOT I don't think there is a grace period

Just make sure you go to the right place as soon as possible!

yes its a fine of £80 after that date but i got away with it 3 years running so i wouldnt worry to much.
