id be tempted to just go and try it. chances are post office will just have a quick look at documents, they never checked mine last time. worth a try.

If you did "get away" with that you would still be driving the car on a public road uninsured.  That is not recommended!

he only wants to tax it lizzie.

If that is the case then why bother before the 6th?? :-? :-?

To tax it before you can drive it makes little sense to me!

[ngrainqey]

i think what he wants to do is tax it so then he can use it on the 6th rather than have to walk/ bus it then get back to the car before he can use it when he could just use it to have done the journey if he'd had it taxed even a day early.
could try it online or over the phone so you get it for the 6th to save going to the post office?

Really dont think that will work, to be honest....  Have nicked folks for similar in the past....

i am going through the same problem at the moment too. my new motor insurance dont start till tomorrow and i need to get tax tomorrow but the cover note has been posted to my house and the car and me are at my mothers.....


james ring the dvla tax and they can do it over the phone as long as you have a policy number!

[Vamps]

Why start insurance on Tuesday when you need the car now, insure it from 2nd and problem over.........

The car is, at the moment, comprehensively insured under a temp Policy. The permanent policy starts on the 6th Jan.

I'm not using it on a public road without Tax - I won't drive it away from the dealer until it can be taxed.

What are the grounds for arrest here?

In UK, we also have to give a reason for arrest. I can't see our  custody sarge settling for a "prompt and effective investigation" for no car tax  
 

By the way, sorry if i've misunderstood..

In Englandshire, it appears that folk can get arrested at the roadside the -de-arrested- and allowed to drive away.  Up here, you only get arrested for doing something serious.  Driving without tax or uninsured before the date on the policy gets a nicking a.k.a. a ticket....

Cheers B - when you say a ticket, do you mean by a nicking, that they do not get taken back to custody and interviewed under caution?

(Sorry to ask, I get a little confused over the difference in scootlandshire )

A ticket as in nicked for speeding/tax/insurance/whatever.

Arrested means processed at the Office with either an appearance from custody or bailed and required to appear....

England has a funny habit of arresting folks at the roadside, charging them, then releasing them again without the 'prisoners' ever seing the inside of a custody suite.  Most strange.....

As far as I'm aware, the only times that would happen would be for things like cannabis - Eg, arrest, interview in car, give street caution, then de-arrest, and matter sorted.

The only other thing I know of is arresting for Breach of Peace, and then dearresting when the threat to BoP has passed.

If someone has something such as no tax, or  not carrying documents, they will be cautioned, but not arrested if there is a better method of disposal (Such as HO/RT1 or VDRS)...

Forgive me if i'm missing something - I know I yet have a lot to take in

Scots Law is not constrainedf by PACE and uses Common Law for things like Murder, theft, etc which are not Parliamentary offences.

Ask the staff at your next training session and they will look at you as thjough you have three heads....  English law does not cover the whole of the UK....

Thanks B. I was aware this was the case, just not sure where  all the differences are.

As far as I know, our powers are only for England, Wales and adjoining waters (not Scotland!), so hopefully I won't need to understand the differences in huge detail

Driving without tax and/or insurance is the same throughout the UK though....

In Scotland then, can you arrest and take to custody for driving without tax?

We just issue a form, and let DVLA sort it as a civil matter...

Form CLE2/5s.  No arrest.
No tax is usually your starter for 10 for no insurance as well, if you did deep enough....
