Hi all, late last October I purchased a new tax disk for the Disco. I asked
for a 6 month one and paid for a 6 month one. However, after just casually
glancing at it late December last year, I find that the disk expires on
31.11.05. The Post Office has issued me a years disk for the price of 6
months! Do you think I may get a reminder in May about this? The PO is a
reputable one, run by mid 50's people - all legit etc etc.

I had the same thing a couple of years ago. The DVLA soon noticed and I had
to send it back to them and they sent me the correct one. However, if you
haven't had a letter from them it looks like you might get 6 months free!

This happened to my mum a few years ago, the DVLA were soon onto it.

I'd have a peep on the DVLA website to see when they think your tax expires.

It was actually working last night and for the first time ever i
managed to sorn something on it. IT is quite useful being able to look
up your other vehicles and check when they should run out too.

31/35 here for car 1; 32/35 for car 2; 31/35 for motorbike 1.
I failed the first lorry test, though to be fair the questions
I got wrong were mainly HGV-specific, so weren't something I'd
normally be expected to know about. I don't think I can be
bothered with the bus test after all that little lot.

Well, having not read the UK Road Code since 1985 or thereabouts, and
applying commonsense I managed to get 27 on car 1. I missed the bits
about trams and speed limits and a couple of the signs that are different.

31 on Car 1, 33 on Car 2. Fall down mostly on trams. And WTS is a "toucan"
crossing - one with a boodly grate beak sticking out into the road or
something? Or what? They didn't have them when I was a lad...

The nearest to me is in Notts. It's a normal light-controlled crossing
(no flashing amber ambiguity phase) whot is intended for people on bikes
to cross car traffic without getting off & pretending to be pedestrians.

Pertty rare really, & I don't know why they have such a silly name.

25/27 on car1 my browser wouldn't let me answer the others. The tram one I
got wrong, and one other I accidentally clicked the wrong second choice[77]

Toucan crossing - two can cross, bikes and peds. That's wot a fiend (who is a
driving distructor) tolled me.


[77]Didn't read the question properly

See other psot. Quite common here. The next town has lots of puffin(no
flashing amber - they have sensors for peds on the crossing) crossings too
(it has no pelicans).

Our local council is still installing blub trype lights and pelicans, job lot
cheep in year dot, or more likely they's luddites. They also take ages to
change fauwlty blubs.

One can surprise you, that there could be toucan be a matter of disbelief?

I got 34/35 for the bike test - but I'm confused. The one I got wrong
was what to do when broken down in a tunnel. I answered to stay with
the vehicle and await the police, but the correct answer was to turn
on hazard lights and get help. I've never owned a bike with hazard
lights :(
