Quick tax question.

Ok quick question, my car currently has zero tax and has been SORN and kept off road while I waited for my Log book to arrive. I now have this and I wish to tax online. When I go ahead to tax it states that the license will start from 1st May. Does that mean I can't drive it until then?

Is this the VXR or a new car you were going to get?

Not yet, it's for the Astra as I lost all the documents when it got stolen so I couldn't sell.

Ah right, didn't realise they nabbed all the paperwork as well. When are you looking to sell, someone I know is interested in a modded Astra VXR in blue.

wait a couple of days otherwise you "loose" a months tax

That doesnt bother me as it's going to be sold within the next few weeks anyway.

Another month of tax may make it more valuable to some!

11 months instead of 12 is going to do Jack ****. Plus I want to drive it this weekend in the nice weather.

Another question. I have just tried to tax my car online but it appeared that my car wasn't on the MID. I then phoned the insurance company and they cancled the policy (without telling me) when I reported the car stolen. Anyway I have that reinstated now but it's on a difference policy number and I won't get the new certificate until Wednesday due to bank holiday Monday. I still have my current certificate with the old policy number with an exp of 29/06/10. Can I tax using this at the Post Office or do they actually check the MID?

They've never checked anything apart from the piece of paper I've given them. If you were good enough I'd expect you could photoshop in a new date every year and they'd fall for it.
