I think they'd want to see you down the police station with all your documents but would let you off if you had proof you'd paid and the disc came through in the next week or so.

In theory you'd get done, in practice I doubt you would

They feed you to the alligators or if your really bad throw you in the snake pit.

If the tax hasn't been brought and you drive the van then YOU get done for having no road tax and driving without insurance. By not having a tax disc your insurance is invalidated.

Oh ... and they can crush the van if they wish !

Do they even bother checking for a visible tax disc these days, now that they use this ANPR system?

Failure to display is still an offence, but if it's been paid I'm sure you'll just get a ticking off.

just double checked with police, altough its been paid for, tech i could still get done for not having it on display, some coppers might be ok about it but others who just may be having a bad day, may do me

the traffic warden always does a visual check around town here early each month and issues a ticket to those not displayed.

As long as it been paid for you will be fine. They will go through the DVLA to find out if it is taxed. You'd have to get a complete ARSE of a cop to take any action.

Dont forget alot of people buy car tax online, so they have to wait till it arrives in the post.

Lets hope none of the Police Officers who were "acting like Kids" find your Van !

They will do you. We have a company car and the tax disc hadn't arrived and since we don't pay for it we never received the note in the post to renew. We just found a nice FPN on our windscreen for failure to display. What made it worse was that the car was parked in a station car park so the wankers had to drive round into the car park and got out of the car to walk round and inspect cars and although they will have checked on ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) to ensure that it was taxed they were still bloody little hitlers and gave us a ticket. By the way don't go to Lenzie station in Scotland and park your car there.
