Absolutely.
However, I renewed our road tax in early February and I was stopped this morning
as the officer's ANPR told him I had not.
Luckily I had a print-out of the road tax from the JCC website in the glove compartment proving I had paid.
No system is 100% foolproof. When the officer checked with the Transport Dept by phone they confirmed the tax had been paid.
So forum members would be well advised to do likewise, now that it is no longer necessary
to display the tax disc on the windscreen!
BTW the officer concerned was very polite and very apologetic.
