Actually I did it for a laugh.
my tax was only £20 so I for a laugh set up a direct debit. £1.75 to the DVLA every month :hehe:

I have been sensible in not buying a new car yet.
But i will bide my time, we bought the flat, the kitchen is paid for, so i will convince the missus that a new car is in order.

Unlucky, 71mph on M42 when they'd apparently set the f'ing "Smart" motorway to 60. I'm pretty f'd off about it

Undertaking? Tail-gating?
Reversing back to the slip road? :hehe:

That is a rip off :angry: I got offered one of those courses about 5 years ago for doing 86mph on the motorway but I took the 3 points instead. That option isn't for everyone I guess, I did have a clean licence at the time tbh.

What can you get away with on a motorway normally? And is it ok to put on a bit of a spurt just to finish an overtake?

I have a big diesel. so I am confused by these rules. My tax is very cheap cause my emmissions are low. However If I drive into Central London Khan will ULEZ my ass.

I think the old 10% leeway maybe a bit of a myth, I'd guess if they wanted to nick you at anything over 70 they could.
As for the spurt bit definitely not imo. Unless your getting out the way of a police car I suppose.

Same here. I'm paying about £30 a year in road tax. No doubt they'll hike it for diesels at some point, but at the moment, it's pretty sweet.
As to ULEZ, I can't remember the last time I was stupid enough to drive into central London anyway. :shrug:

:nod: though when they expand it will be a pain as I won't bother to go visit my parents anymore.
Though their Islington resident parking permits came handy on match days :hide:

Soon it will be basically illegal to own a older car if you live inside the north circular. Funny how these environmental rules seem to punish the less well-off.

I have 4 cars. The insurance and road tax could be exchanged for a full time butler.
