lost tax disc

[thorntondog]

This is so weird and unbelievable.

 

I have a magnetic tax disc hiolder on my windscreen and if it is a sunny day, it often falls off onto the dashboard. As I was driving today, the tax disc holder fell and I saw the paper valid tax disc fall on the floor by the passenger seat.

 

When I got home I opened the passenger door to get a bag off the seat and I didnt pick the disc up. Later I went back out and thought I must put the disc back and now I cant find it in my car. I have looked under all the seats and wondered if it could have blown out when I opened the passenger door the first time even though I dont think it was that windy today.

 

I am baffled, I have been out to my car four more times to look for it and no luck.

 

Can I still drive as my car is taxed until July 2013 and I will be sending off for a duplicate tax disc first thing tomorrow morning.

 

Thanks

You can drive it, but the police may pull you over and issue a fine/penalty points for failure to display the disc.

 

In my opinion, its better to leave the car at home and use alternative transport. Its not worth the risk of a fine and points.

Thanks for that- I will think about leaving the car to avoid any fine or points.

Just a FPN/summons, no points.
