Default Tax a Car with less than a month MOT left?

My tax is up today, MOT up in a few weeks, can I still tax it? I'd assume yes but my mate says you can't - so people don't have tax and no MOT on their car. Anyone know?

From the DVLA website.
MOT test certificate

You must produce an MOT test certificate that is valid on the day the tax disc comes into force. A certificate that expires on the last day of the month eg 30 April cannot be used if the tax disc is to start on the first day of the following month eg 1 May. The certificate must be original; a photocopy is not acceptable.
