How times have changed. I got done for no tax / fraudulent use of tax.........I was 18, had a rover 2000 p6 and an imp.
I had a 9 mile drive to college and as it was damp the rover wouldn't start. .....cos that's what cars did in those days, it was a fine balance of magic and trickery, choke, gas, hope ,alignment of planets and determination.....even with these things mastered it was going nowhere.
The imp was less fussy, had mot, and a piece of paper stating it was insured, but no tax! Now I had a feeling that it was not ideal, but took the rover tax and put it in the imp. Of course, I was now late so I had to get cracking......so much so I got caught doing 70 (yes really!!) just as I thought the whole dressing down, you got 3 points thing was over....the copper checked the car over.....and then noticed the rover tax disc😱
So...court,....no tax, fraudulent use of tax, speeding!!!!
The judge was quite reasonable about it all though, but big lesson learnt.
