Buying Road tax?
Right, for the life of me I can't find my MOT test certificate.
So if I go online and buy my road tax for the ten, and get it posted to me, it won't be here in time for the lakes more than likely. WIll i still be covered to ride my bike allthough I am not showing a valid tax disc as long as I have paid for one and its on the way? Cheers Chris

You'll be fine. Don't panic!
It has never taken more than 4/5 days for me to receive a tax disc in the post after buying online. If you do it now, you will have it well before the Lakes meet. |

Blimey Chris.... how long do you think it takes!
For what it's worth, you don't necessarily need your certificate at the Post Office. They can check if they want to, I've taxed a car without it before at our local PO. But Pleiades is bang on, it only takes a few days for it to come through the post if you do it on-line. If you did it today (Friday) it will be with you Tuesday or Wednesday next week. As long as you do it before the end of the month (and you currently have RFL) you have 7 days grace in any case to allow for it to arrive. You don't get any grace if you tax it after the month starts.

Yeah, it's about �70 for the full year now.
Isn't it only about a week since you got the MOT? How'd you manage to lose it that quick? In theory, you shouldn't ever need it now, even for the Post Office, because it's all computermerised. The certificate is more or less just for your own records now. I've not actually tried getting tax at a Post Office without one though.

Technically never lost it. I had put it in one of my motorcycle jacket pockets that I never use and forgot about it. Even after going through the pockets in my jacket several times I couldnt find it.
Eventually found it in the secret little pocket. DOH!
