Well I renewed my car tax online. The disc came through the post 4 days after the application. I have to say that this does save a lot of time. It works pretty well. You have to have a new style of MOT certificate though for it to work. It's about time they brought this in makes life so much easier!

Anybody else done it online?

Certainly beats queueing at the post office!

Definitely. I can only ever do it over the weekend, and my local post office which does tax discs is always crammed. Long live the online revolution!

The downside is that you have to wait 4 tills or so for the tax disc so you can drive the car, unless you order a new one before it expires.

Can you do that?

I just ordered it and drove it nonetheless - I have proof that I have bought it so I'm not too fussed about it. If you time it well and do it just the week before it's all good anyway. :)

Really? Damn! My tax disc has been in my glovebox for months due to lack of tax disc holder or inclination to buy/find/steal one :p.

My tax holder has come unstuck now it just lies on the floor in the passenger footwell.

As far as I'm concerned I've paid for it they should be able to check it up on their records anyway. I think there is a grace period, but as long as I know I'm legal I'm quite nonchalant about it. I'm not saying this is the right thing to do, it's just me ;)
