Some kind neighbour felt the need to leave me a note :rolleyes:

Admittedly the tax disc had fallen off but how nice of them to give me till next week!


I need some witty note to leave back?!
Pretty sure the name is fake to, its parked on a back street with very few people with any reason to wander past it and checking the electoral role suggest no-one round here has that name.
 
So, your tax disc falls off, you fail to fix it properly to your screen, someone tries to help you out before you get an official prosecution letter, and you rolleyes at them.

"I would like to thank you, the kind neighbour on their suggestion, but I must regret to inform you, Sir Dave Brown, that you have recently received some interest from far a field and shall be nuked from orbit. So please, have a nice day."

And while you're at it, fix it properly to the windscreen in future. :rolleyes:
 
Don't complain about it!!

You could assume it's nothing until you get a fine of up to £200. At least you've been given the opportunity and should really be taking more care.

Help me out by threatening the to send pictures to the DVLA?, they could just do it on-line but then it would tell them it is taxed. Instead they have gone to the trouble of getting on there high horse while hiding behind a little note signed with a fake name.

Yes it wasn't displaying the tax but that's my problem.

I couldn't care less about it in all honesty :) but a little comeback to encourage them to think twice about being accusing isnt a bad thing imo
 
Are physical tax discs still being abolished this September?

I think they just become optional.

Although I'm gonna keep mine on display because:

a) I bought a nice tax disc holder
b) 99.9% of the publica won't be aware you dont have to display and WILL write notes like above
c) it's £20 a year and I like to brag about that
 
Hah well I want to hide mine if I can.

a) I don't/won't have a nice holder
b) People at petrols stations always ask what MPG and then have a nose at the road tax!
c) It's £500 a year and I feel the shame. :( ;)

Also I don't like stickers and the holder thing is the last to remove.
 
Afaik, it's still an offence to fail to display a valid disc - if it's actually taxed or not - you encountered one of life's many people with **** all better to do with his time.

Forget it & move on.

Clearly you could care less, seeing as you are posting about it on an internet forum. Screams of looking for affirmation that you have been 'wronged'.

Be glad you were only 'threatened'.
 
Print off a webpage of children's handwriting practice books for sale, and write that maybe he should focus his efforts on this instead of what he has planned, then post it through his door, then wait for his head to explode.

Guy is going to have a fit when the tax disc law changes later this year.
 
Just ignore him and be happy knowing your life isn't quite as mundane as his.

Or send him a note back being overly friends. Write it in the most sickeningly creepy way you possibly can. :)

Threatened with the DVLA? They would have just told him to bugger off as it is taxed.
I highly doubt with the new rules coming into place that the police would really bother to much about a fallen off tax disc. And if they did its a £60 fine, not exactly crime of the century.

inb4, for the month leading up to when they officially don't need to be displayed, every single cop wagon with a camera is out in force 24/7 on every bridge and lay-by snapping pics of fallen tax discs just to rinse a bit more cash out even though they are legally taxed xD

seeing as you don't know who it was who left it how are you going to send a note back? just put it on your screen and hope the guy comes past again to check up on you? :rolleyes:
 
I would ignore it and let him waste his time.

When or if the DVLA get round to looking at his email or letter, they will throw it straight in The bin as it's not been reported by the police.

Failure to display is a technical offence which the police will issue a fixed penalty notice for if you run across a rozzer who hasn't got any action for a while.
No tax is prosecuted by the DVLA.

He isn't a member of the police, and the DVLA are not interested in failure to display.

They are particularly keen at Christmas for trying to nick you with no tax.
