Vehicle Registration Tax Disc Excuses
October 1st 2008 14:12
OK so I'm guessing that the UK vehicle Tax Disc system is akin to the Aussie vehicle registration system although the similarities with the system (other than the MOT=Pink slip) ends there.
So while I pull my hair out waiting for my insurance certificate to arrive which I need to get the disc, which by the way they promised to send me guaranteed, to arrive on the last day of my tax disc's validity, and didn't arrive, I thought I'd have another trawl through the DVLA website or RTA equivalent.
That's when I stumbled upon this little gem. And here I am, silly me, with my expired tax disc, walking my children 2 miles to school on what has to be one of the worst wet weather days imaginable with heavy rain and wind gusts, when obviously I should just be driving the car illegally and using one of these prime examples for an excuse.
The top five silliest excuses offered by motorists during the last year are: (and not including the old my ‘tax disc is in the post’ option:
1. I gave the car to a man in the pub.
2. My mate took my car for a test drive a year ago, and hasn’t brought it back yet.
3. I did tick the box, but didn’t realise I had to actually send you the form.
4. The weather’s been nice so I haven’t needed to use it.
5. The letter advises me to ignore any correspondence.
At the rate I'm going if the bloomin' certificate doesn't turn up soon, number 3 is looking good! unless of course anyone has any better suggestions.
