My vehicles tax disc (road fund licence) ran out today, can I drive it until I get another one?
A change in the law came into effect from the 1st of September 2008. From this date it is legal for motorists to drive or keep their vehicle on the public road without a current tax disc for the first five working days of the month immediately after the current tax disc has expired. This exemption from displaying a tax disc applies only when an application for a new disc has been made before the previous one has expired. Motorists are advised to display the expired tax disc, however they will be committing an offence if they continue to use or keep the vehicle on a public road without a current valid tax disc after the first five days of the month.
