i gotta take me mate to essex tomoz to hopefully buy a cossie, not that means going down the M4, and i have been informed that there are the cameras between J15 swindon east, and J10 reading east.

as the car was off the road the mot and tax have now expired, and i still have NOT had the tax renewal letter

what are my options???

1. using black electreical tape, modify the letter on the reg plate lol

2. remove all reg plates

3. get off the motorway and miss out said section of motorway

i cant get new tax yet as it been mot'd yet.

 

4. dont drive it

 

electrical tape

 

need to drive it mate, gotta take me mate to buy a cossie!!

 

oh and remember no tax and mot aint endorsable, just a fine

how long since its not had a mot or can ya not book it in for a mot then ya legal , use the shortest route though

 

As above don't drive it? That means your insurance will be invalid also. top move

 

ok hire a van then , why risk it where thes a train service

 

not if ya get a tug it dont !!!!, only in the event of a crash they will pay put and then take the money off you again

 

mot ran out last week, tax on monday.

ill book it in for a test etc, but still aint had the letter from dvla so how do i go about getting tax?

 

btw the poilce cars have cameras on em that flag up uninsured cars and non taxed cars so they got a valid reason to tug ya

so maybe a train, borow a legal car or van hire costs fook all tbh, cost me 30 quid to hire a fiesta courier van and it was diesel so cheep to run too

 

hire cars are very cheap these days and a lot cheaper than the fine you will receive if you get caught!!

get your 'mate' to cough up some cash, If hes going to buy a cossie he can afford to rent a car

 

no one i know will let be borrow their car

especially not to essex and back...

basically, just going there and back

 

pop in the post office and purchase it , if ya need petrol try the late night stores ya used when ya was a kid to buy sweets and cola at 3am, they also sell fluid to stick in the car to allow it to keep running

 

hire a car from a shitty firm, theres a place near me that rents vans for fook all , 30 quid for the day

 

dont you need a V whatever to get tax tho?

 

no,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, log book, mot and insurance !!!!!, ive never used the reminder to tax my car !!!!

 

ok mate cheers

 

if you dont have the reminder you fill out a form provided by the post office, its all there matey

 

lol, ok mate

 

you want a v10 form

dont risk it... any camera can read your reg and check it against the DVLA's database... its not rocket science!

ALex

 

actually you dont anymore...


you just guive them your log book and insurance and it brings it all up on the cpomputer... thts how u get the Ł80fine atuo thru the post now..

 

id just remove the front numberplate (if i had one to start with )
whats the chance of you actually getting stopped?
im not trying to condone driving with no tax or M.O.T at all but if YOU feel you arent likely to get stopped or are willing to take the risk and possible penalty (a fine at worst) then its up-to you...

 

there is such an easy way out of that one though!

 

dont drive it

you insurance is invalid with no tax and if u did get stopped they can give you 6 points for no insurance now !!

cossymad got this as his insurance was invalid cos he was seen to be racing

take your mate another day

is it worth all the agro

 

Dont do it especially as you have a pic of your car in your sig and have broadcast your route intended route on here. Go the train option.

 

Are you sure about insurance being invalid with no tax?

I HAD to use my car last year when it was MOT's and insured (I was waiting for the certificate to come through so couldn't get tax). I rang my insurance company prior to making the journey and they informed me I would still be insured but liable to be charged with having no road tax.

Same as if you crash while speeding...you still get a pay out don't you?

 

well ive been driving it since tuesday, and not thought about it till last night when some said about the tax being out...

i have seen a few cop cars too...

hmmm

i dunno what to do now.

i WILL get it all asap, but it aint gonna be before tomoz...

 

You get 2 weeks grace, don't worry about it, go drive to Essex!!!

 

and for mot mate??

 

joh is correct, i think yopu will fiond street racing is slightly more serious, if ya get done for drink driving do they do ya for driving without insurance

its about a example on street racing tbh besides the 6 points lasts 3 years and he got 18months ban, so he gets another 18months with 6 points but has street racing on his licence for 10 years with a 100% preimium increase

i have looked into the no mot and no tax before, no tax has fook all to do with the licence

whenn ya get done for no tax then fine ya voia the post from dvla, no insurance is via court and endorsable the old bill deal with that and dvla deal with car tax as thats a serperate depatment

as for no mot that again is just a fine just like a seat belt !!!!,

 

ya can be reprted for using a car with no tax on it in the first month and they send ya a fine of 33 quid quid of 24 quid if its a girly engined car in the first month

the mot im sure is 60 quid fine too

hire a van and its deisel and cost ya 30 quid,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, theres a hint in there somewhere

 

if you do go im 2 mins from jct6 and jct7 slough/windsor if you fancy hooking up.

 

no you dont even get two days anymore!

alex

 

ah feck

what to do

 

No tax i would risk it, the fine is only back dated to when you last paid tax on it, i wouldnt drive with no mot or tax though, can you not go get it mot'd now ? Take an hour off work and just turn up at an mot station.

I begrudge taxing all my cars though, i only drive one at a time and when i am not driving them they ore off the public road on my private property. I'd pay extra to have transferable tax so i could list all my cars on it and sway it around depending on which car i was driving.

 

earliest i can get it mot'd is weds now, i booked in earlier
