Road Legal??

[kitesurf_phil]

My better half went to the Post Office today armed with Form V5, insurance certificate, MOT Cert' and additional ID. When she got to the counter, the clerk nonchalantly stamped the application, took the money and handed over the disk. When asked if she wanted to see the other doc's, the answwer was,"No."
So,the government has wasted several £millions of our money on the, "No V5 - No Tax." campaign.
It's nice to know that our money is being well spent and that no one is going to run into us, with no insurance or MOT, after all they have been checked at the Post Office haven't they?

simpler way is to borrow mothers mondeo and scan the disc, soak in brake fluid to remove ink) write in your own details and hey pesto!!

works with insurance cover notes too!!

of course i would never try this myself and don't condone this type of behaviour!

hehe, Years ago, I had an old Baja bug that needed various nefarious deeds to keep it on the road.

To old fashioned.

Just use a scanner for the disc, no probs.

Might have worked in the old days but...

Before some numpty runs off and tries this scam, a quick word of warning.

Sure you can create a copy of a tax disc and stick in your windscreen, that's not a problem. The problem arises when the car is registered in your name.

There are vans cruising Bristol day and night (and I have seen one in the back of beyond on the outskirts of the city cruising down the row of cars outside of a pub at 10:30pm!) that have a rear facing mini camera mounted on a stalk out of the roof. At 30mph this camera can photograph all of the license plates and tax discs on both sides of the road.

It can also check the data with the DVLC as it goes along.

The driver has two options, either wait till he gets back to base and download all of the data. The system then automatically generates penalty notices to all offenders, or, if he is having a lazy day, he can park up and print the tickets there and then.

The vans are bright yellow.

Anyone who uses the M32 into Bristol will also be aware that there are two static cameras that are regularly set up to do exactly the same thing with every vehicle that enters the city via that route.

I am sure that the local council is run by a Mr G Orwell??

Know what you mean. today they issued mine a tax disc on the SVA MOT which only had the chassis number on it. "do you want to see the V5" I asked

"no" was the answer. so if anyone wants to borrow my MOT cert, it'll do any other surf.

It could end up like one of those chain letters.
