Avoiding DVLA VED fine

Muffin` · 18 Sep 2009 at 17:10

I've tried to tax my car (IT LIVES!!!1

) but my tax ran out at the end of July but I was extremely ill and then admitted to Hospital for another 4 weeks. So now I've tried to tax it after getting it MOT'd and Insured but I have to write to the DVLA to explain why it wasnt taxed for the month of August. I live alone and was physically unable to declare it SORN/re-tax. What are the chances of my success of avoiding the fine? Am I gonna have to bend over for this one?

can you get a note from the hospital or doctors to prove your illness

possibly - I guess that would help, cheers

You were admitted to hospital for a good while, you'll be fine if you explain it.

My old car sat on my drive for over a year and I just went and taxed it when I wanted it.

They don't have a leg to stand on, get a note from your doctor or the hospital.
