Displaying Tax

Dan White wrote

Oh I dunno. I think you grossly underestimate the powers of a ukrmer to
piss people off if they made a point of it.

I am sure if we acted collectively we could bring the justice system to
a grinding halt within 24 hours on offensive behaviour alone.

You can't do it on the net? That is fucking ridiculous that is.

 

Yes, I suppose I should have added the caveat: "Assuming you don't
deliberately *try* to pick a fight"...

"Excuse me sir, have you been drinking?"
"Yep"
"Blow into this please"
"What, you don't fucking believe me, ****?"

etc, etc...

 

I've got one in the shed which you can have, came off the Trophy. Purple
ally, fake carbon fibre, hex bolts etc. I think it may be a genuine Oxford
one. Email me your address and I'll stick it in the post.

But...won't that mean you'll have a very shiny thing on your GS?

But if you didn't have one, you could hardly display it then, could you?!

Sheesh...

 

Heh.

Muck applied spanners to it last weekend. We think we know where
the oil's coming from, and it may be fixed next weekend. <8)

Not for long ...

 

Does this mean the dangly flap thing will be obsolete? End of an era...

 

Failure to display is a particularly petty, beauraucratic
pencil-nick's nick, though but. I fucking mean to say, Yer Honner.
The only pettier (is that a word?) infringement of the letter
of the law must be "Displayed, but in the wrong place".

Fuckers, they are. Bollocks to 'em - keep it taxed, but keep the disc
in your wallet so at least it's handy when you get tugged for popping
a wheelie past the Girl's School on a sunny Friday afternoon, wearing
a loud can, a small plate, a black visor and a bad attitude. That way
you'll only get the twelve points and a ban is optional.

 

You replace it with another colour printout
of the original that you scanned, because you
keep the original in a waterproof pouch
in a pocket WITH YOU, and not where some fucking
**** is going to nick it because the assholes in
government haven't figured that requiring an open
vehicle like a motorbike to display an easily stolen
bit of paper is lunacy.

hth,
Marc

I was going to display it as a museum piece, but instead I'll
send it to you. Fair exchange is no robbery.

<narrows eyes>

Have you read the FAQ?

Do you know why it's there?

 

Nor me. In nineteen years of having bikes I've never had one stolen.
I've lost a couple but that was me me being a dozy bastard.

I don't know, the turbo had one which was an absolute twat to get the old
disk out. So much so it ended up taking a trip across the workshop into
the bin.

 

Dangly flappy things covered in oil[1] are way down the list. The museum
option is the way to go.

[1]Yours, anyway.

 

I got stopped by plod last Novemeber and got a ticket for failure to
display. I sent it off asking for a court appearance as the reason for
him giving me the ticket was because when he got on the radio, my bike
came back as having *no* tax and no insurance?! It's got both and always
has had. I've not heard anything back yet.

Do they write and say they won't be dealing with it as they've made
enquires and found I had tax or do they let you sweat for six months?
What's the limit on these things?

This didn't work in my case.

 

Yeah, and the final insult is when they make out like they're doing it
for your benefit.

 

Thank goodness, the amount of oil it was leaking became quite alarming.
Still, to replace that, it's now got a Scottoiler.

 

Nick one.
