If i apply for car tax online can i drive my car even if im awaiting for my disc to come through?

Answer
Yes you can. the police have direct access to the dvla computers and can check on the status of all your vehicle documentation within seconds.when you tax on line, the last page is a receipt you can print off as proof you have paid the duty.the failure to display penalty is now becoming a thing of the past, especially on motorcycles, as they are easily stolen.the disc only takes a couple of working days to arrive anyway.
