There is a difference between the letter of the law and the spirt of the law.
This is supposed to be for catching people who don't wish to pay road tax on going.
It shouldn't be penalising people that stick to the rules, try hard to be legal, but the system doesn't allow them to be legal without being substantially out of pocket.
A grace period of a few days would make little difference to those that don't wish to pay at all, but give massive assistance to those wishing to pay the money but need time to get the paperwork sorted.
I tax and insurance will full declaration of mods on all my cars.
I pay through the nose for it.
This system suggests I'll come a cropper at some point because I wish to buy older cars privately. Despite the thousands I pay every year to be legal.
That is just plainly unfair.
