Here in France I have to ask what's a tax disc and what's it do?

We don't have them we just pay for traffic free motorways and smooth roads.

It's the governments way of squeezing money out of already taxed motorists.

Little disc that must be purchased and displayed to drive on our beautiful roads!!

It was originally set up to pay for the upkeep of the roads but is now called vehicle excise duty as it's not used for that anymore.

Up until now it was a good bargaining chip when buying a used car but now, for many it's just a pain in the ass!!

I bought a jag with 10 months tax on it which knocked the price of the car after refund Down by £175.
I don't pay it as my wife is disabled and we get it free.

One of the few "perks" for having terminal cancer :(

Wonder how many thousands of extra sales dated 30th Sept the DVLA will have to deal with? We pick up our tf tomorrow but the V5 is dated Tuesday to keep the 7 months tax on the car!

I've removed mine and feel strangely liberated. However, I've put the disc in the glovebox with the other car documents....partly to remind me when it runs out and partly because after all this time I can't really believe that it's gone for good!

PS, found a red flag in the glove box...what's that all about?
