I know someone whose MOT ran out today (they thought it was next month) and their tax is due at the end of this month. The earliest they can get it booked in is likely to be Monday...
That leaves them in a dilemma of having no MOT, therefore can't get their road tax renewed - their renewal doesn't give them the option of buying it online (we went through that scenario earlier...)
Do you get any leeway now for simple mistakes in the date these things are due, or is everyone automatically branded as a criminal now by the computers and sent a fine ?
TIA !
(its got me thinking though, think mine`s up in September)
