The A34 running from M60/Stretford into town passing MUFC also has ANPR. So maybe it's now on all the main feeder roads into the city? I seem to remember mention that ANPR would be used as a back up when there was a possibility of Manchester adopting a Congestion Charge similar to London's. Thank goodness us pesky mancs hit that idea into touch.

My better half got a new car, registered last Friday. The postman delivered the disc for it at 3 p.m. yesterday. :shrug:

That's one car disc that'll never see a windscreen.

Keep my one on just for the hell of it. Just worked out how much I have paid over the years... I could have retired a decade ago.

New car tax means government to get 'double money', says AA

Quote:

The AA has complained that the new vehicle tax system will provide the government with extra revenue, as some cars will, in effect, be taxed twice.

From Wednesday, it will no longer be necessary for motorists in the UK to display a paper disc.

The AA said the new system will mean that in some circumstances the government will now get "double money".

However the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) said it would not bring in much additional revenue.

Website glitch
Customers trying to renew their Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), meanwhile, have had problems with the website.

Some, like Mike Dewsbury from Manchester, spent more than 13 hours trying to renew his VED.

"It's a joke. I need to get to work but legally can't because my car isn't now taxed," he told the BBC.

Useless Britain.

nothing ever works.

This is how stupid it is. where there will be no refunds for part months.

Quote:

So if a car is sold on say, the first day of the month, both buyer and seller will have paid the tax for that month.

Refund days, and stop ripping the public off you morons.

Does it really matter? For any that are still valid, it makes no difference at all whether they are there or not as it's not illegal to leave it.

Took mine off. can't say I've seen one single car done the same.

Re: The Car tax disc is to be scrapped after 93 years

My new car which I picked up 14Sep - the letter said I could drive without a tax disc for 14 days. So I technically had to display a disc for the last 2 days of the month.
Technically - as it did also mention that there were records to show a disc had been issued, and I didn't bother!

My tax disc has 10 months to run, I shall leave it on display even after it expires as sign that I don't agree with it's demise !
