Quick VED Question

[meeeb]

As you did not know the time line and you "assumed" certain facts them it really was not in context.

Surely it would have been better from a forum perspective to have clarified how the grace period applies than to use the phrase "ignorant" ?

As you went rambling on about having bought your tax disc "at a post office a week before expiry", and the date on which the "computer runs an update", none of which is relevant to the question posed, which was, "am I right in thinking that I could still theoretically be done by plod for not having a valid tax disc displayed?" - he wasn't pondering the likelihood of detection - your remarks were also out of context and your criticism is hypocritical.

Thank you Don. I already quoted the relevant section.

I think we can all get a feel for your type. One that hides behind a keyboard and snipes.

There was no rambling, my comments were perfectly in context to the OP's query as it showed pertinent information as to the updates of the computer system as evidenced.

You do seem to enjoy throwing insults around but the safety of the internet does let keyboard warriors exprees themselves without fear of having to do so face to face!

I wil not read nor respond to any more of your rather pathetic point scoring attempts. I do however suggest you try adding something useful to the forum and cut back on the "holier than thou" attitude

Thankfully the forum has an "ignore" list!

Hypocrite of the month I think.

Oh me god... This sniping is why I don't comment! Similar to a Jag forum I used to frequent... When I had a Jag... Enjoy!

Unfortunately this does happen when you have members happy to call others "ignorant" and then post other derogatory comments as soon as other members post anything that they are not in agreement with.

The forum should be for the benefit of all and should, therefore, be a platform for us to share knowledge, to learn from others and to aid the enjoyment we get from owning our cars. It is unfortunate that some see it almost exclusively as a platform for anonymous comments that add nothing overall but you find these people in all walks of life so I suppose it is no surprise that they exist on-line.

The forum should be for the benefit of all ....

And life should be full of joy...but what should and what actually happens, well, we all know the difference

Some of us are just bitter because we shelled out loads of money on a pile of iron oxide. Unfortunately our disappointment with the marque spills over into all topics ;-)

Depends on your face, even if you have a new tax disc , but you haven't displayed it on your car is still an offence, according to junior plod

I think they have relaxed this law to some degree now for obvious reasons.
