Tarmac_Terrorist Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I reckon it's lying flat on the dash board where it fell off the windscreen Bet it's a carbon fibre jobbie no less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PND Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Doesn't it have to be displayed in the windscreen at all times? I'm sure I've heard tales where people have been done for having no tax if it's on the dash? Anyone know what the ruling is? Don't want to cause any distress! I'm probably wrong!

RedRobin Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Technically it is supposed to be displayed on the windscreen but I have yet to be told off about it and I have either been stopped by or been with police and traffic wardens many times and no-one has ever even mentioned it. It's easily seen and it's likely that nowadays ANPR systems are more relied on to check if VED has been paid. It started off being on the dash temporarily but then has stayed!

Speedywheels Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well when I first looked at this I thought RR was a traffic fine waiting to happen but actually it looks like Red Robin is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Oli - and very sexy new avatar! Speedywheels - Great link - Useful legal site. According to Section 33 Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 - level 1 fine - fixed penalty offence - summary offence. And furthermore to Regulation 6 Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002: "The licence shall be fixed to the vehicle protected from the weather and clearly visible in daylight from the nearside of the road and exhibited : - Vehicles with windscreens extending across the front of the driver to the nearside, - on or adjacent to the nearside of the windscreen" - Which mine adequately satisfies. "The licence shall be so exhibited that all the particulars on the licence are clearly visible in daylight from the near side of the road." - Which mine adequately satisfies. "visible" = "so as to display information relevant to the vehicle" - Which mine adequately satisfies. So, quite accidentally on this occasion, my common sense has matched with the law. It does explain why I have never been 'pulled' on this subject, though Oli suggests otherwise! But, as someone's sig on that forum states: "Bullets speak louder than reason" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
