Bogof Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 And cost of paying 2x6monthly will not be more than 12monthly.Good news?? I reckon so. Not quite, 5% surcharge for 6 months, down from 10%, according to DM so you're probably right It's a step in the right direction though, till ACPO decide they're all too busy to operate ANPR in just the same way they became too busy to check VED discs.

SO you wont have to get your bike / car tax'd every 6 or 12 months??? No, they're ditching the paper disc and it'll all be done electronically. So nothing to display. And you won't be able to shop your neighbours. It's progress. Apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
