      Probably, if you get spotted by a traffic warden or the fuzz. Try googling it or read the info on the DVLA website.

              The alternatives such as "tax applied for" or a guiness label are also frowned upon by the ptb.
              How about I put the email receipt from .gov in the window

                Why did you not just collect it from the post office?

                  That'll really speed things up on the road, with broken down bangers blocking a lane every few hundred yards.


                  As somebody who drives a nineteen-year-old car, I very much want to have it tested at least once a year - not so much because I'm bothered about blocking the road (I have it serviced frequently, so that's only happened once in the seven years I've owned it) but because I want to be sure it's safe to drive.

                    FWIW I got my car tax online last year and it arrived within a couple of days.

                    Of course, where you live, it depends on how long it takes the Post Office pony to get up the hill
