Yeah it's a rip off, the same car can be taxed twice in 1 month when its sold, so they make extra money from us

I only ever tax a car I've bought at the beginning of the next month, so long as you use the car local and not on motorways etc, local plod don't have anpr

That's wot I'm thinking mate I only need it today then tomorrow I'm working away so I won't use the car till the weekend and I'm all to happy to tax it then .

Its just a hidden way for them to rip the motorists off again. There is an official petition to get the new tax to run from the exact day of purchase/sale now there is no tax disc this should be a more fair way of dealing with things

Plenty have already signed it but not sure if it will make any difference

petitions never do sod all the british motorist is a easy target and always will be , does make me chuckle the for sale adverts offering cars with tax still, justshows how much they know about new rules

dunno where you live. but get anpr cars at random road side stop and checks all the time near me!

not to mention the anpr equipped interceptors that are allways about.


risky advice really just using the car loacl etc

No road side stops where I live, seen 2 in the last 10 years and only pulling vans etc, I'm a law abiding motorist on the most part but I won't be ripped off, you take your chances.
We all commit offences everyday, speeding for one, police are no different and I'm sure off duty they all tax their cars towards the end of the month with a few days left.

Fil

fair enough, have past 2 road side operations , in the last few months, they are very common round here.

The thing that pisses me off is that you have to tax it in your name when purchased.

But they say the V5 isn't proof of ownership just who's responsible for the car.

Or am I wrong in that statement?

So glad I don't feel that everyone is ripping me off or targeting me like you guys seem to do .

Think you guys need a real dose of hardship to get you back to reality.
Your on a car site talking about all the mods you are or want to do to an old Ford & yet the whole world is against you & pinching your money .
Get your priorities right if you are hard up for a few bob sell your cars & get your life in order. Wingeing Nancy's the lot of you .

If you're happy to be ripped off constantly then that's up to you.

Everyone else doesn't like getting fucked over constantly because they drive but we are far from the bubble of your world armt we rod.

Police also have a number of permanent and temporary ANPR cameras that are attached to lighting columns. Hertfordshire is tied up tighter than a nuns snatch.

I've seen a few x5's on dual carriageways with anpr but nothing ever local, but then our local plod still drive protons so they will be lucky if it's got a heater let alone any tech

We have had two APNR equipped vans driving around our side streets. Look almost like those Google Map cars. Looking for cars on the street, uninsured and/or untaxed and not SORN.

Surely tax is on the car, irrelevant of owner but insurance is what counts? Even the name to whom the car is registered is not important as long as the car is taxed & driver is correctly covered.

And, before slagging off the UK government (regardless of flavour and your own affiliations) and saying you will go elsewhere, have a check on what the governments are like in those other countries. Pretty certain I wouldn't want to emigrate to some 3rd world sh!thole just because of lax car taxation rules.

Moaning about the government ripping drivers off in one breath and then declaring how best to wriggle out of paying taxes in the next does seem hypercritical to me.
