What are people waiting for?

Is it aesthetically pleasing to some people to have an out of date tatty piece of pointless paper slightly blocking their view of the road?

Are there 'listed' cars out there where it's a requirement to leave them in?

FFS why?

Sorry I still have mine. It's comforting.

YABU

A car is naked without a tax disc.

Did you know some people collect tax discs?

YABU. I was really sad when I got a new car as I had to say goodbye to my old one and its tax disk

I don't have one in my new car but do in my other car. It's taped to the glass and I couldn't be arsed trying to unpick it.

Mines still there. Just never thought to remove it, but now I have thought about it, it's a kind of comforting shrine to a bygone era and will stay!

I've left mine there as it reminds me when the new one is due, and the MOT which is due a week before the tax. I can't imagine why it would bother anyone.

Too much trouble to remove it for me.

I actually don't know if mine is still on display or not but can't see why it should bother anyone.

Mine's due end of this month.

I still have the last tax disc in the window.

Yes, yes to it being a comfort thing.

It was the worst idea ever, as people used to leave dump their untaxed cars up our private road.
I used to quite enjoy reporting them Grin

I recently took mine off after over a year. At least my National Trust stickers fill the void.

Mines still in place and I drive a car that has never needed tax paying on it Grin how's that for a double whammy!

Incidently, if anyone can tell me how to get rid of the sticky crap that's left behind after you take away the thing that used to hold the tax disc in place, I'd be grateful (baby oil?).

Mine's still there. It will be whilst I still have the car.

The tax disc holder is basically welded to my windscreen, so I can't get it off. If I take the disc out I'll have an empty holder, and I don't like that.

I only took mine off because the holder didnt stick anymore.

Try nail varnish remover to get rid of the sticky.

Grip required,

Mine is there in case I need to give the number plate and can't be arsed to get out of the car to go and look.
Mrsbert I think you can get the sticky stuff off by rubbing it with alcohol.

Please come and collect mine, one less pointless job for me to do. It is not harming anyone. Oh goodness me, have I turned into a GF? Grin

With the exception of the people who physically cannot remove theirs, Tiggy is disappointed in you.

Tax discs don't bother me but I saw a car with a red nose on it the other day. How many zillion years has that been there?
