I think I'd rather stick it up DVLA's computer orifice
The first question that comes to mind is "Who am I giving my details too?".
There is no information about who ruins this site or where they are based, basic info I like to know before giving my details over. The web site gives no such details.
It's safer and just as easy to write down such dates in a diary or on a piece of paper to leave in the glove box.
Why would you need the reminder service?

Got this in mine:

Tax disc for the year of first registration with the correct issuing office & date stamp :thumbsup:

I would not deem it wise to send personal details to a third party website of persons unknown.
It's probably bona fide BUT I personally would not risk it.
Most mobile phones have a reminder facility that alarm out on a day you have selected for whichever appointment you need reminding about.
Failing that buy a good old fashioned paper calendar and marker pen and write on it whichever date/anniversary/appointment you need to remember!
Here is a useful website about staying safe online:

Got one of those for our show-baby too :)

Or seeing as most of you are on a computer (as opposed to phone / tablet) - just use the Calendar capability in your email program ! You use the computer regularly, so it won't be anything different ;)
I'm going to put a little disc of paper in the tax disc holder which will say, in "Only Fools and Horses" fashion, "Tax is on the computer"...
I've got my National Trust car park sticker in mine! :-[
You folks must be catching up..... here in NSW we haven't had windscreen stickers for 2 years. We have multiple camera installations at traffic lights instead. They are posted as 'red light speed cameras' but are checking your number plate against registration as well. :veryangry:
I am going to put a Milk Chocolate Digestive biscuit in mine, in case I fancy a nibble en route!

Make sure you get it the right way round otherwise you'll be licking the chocolate off the windscreen!
What a great idea! Trouble is, one just wouldn't be enough. How many will I need for a whole packet and still leave a small peephole to see thru? ???
I think that's a really good idea but a Ginger Nut would be better wouldn't want to waste the chocolate in the holder or on the screen.

Talk about going off topic - you lot really take the biscuit...
Make it a jaffa cake, then you're talking.
On a more serious note:-
One of the Police Forces in this country is offering a downloadable First Aid folding disc tthat can hold the vital information need if your vehicle is involved in a collision and the occupant(s) are unconscious. Blood groups, contact details, that sort of thing.
It might be a good idea, but only if other police personnel are aware that such information exists!
Peter.
Sorry to be a Luddite, but wouldn't all that info on a card do the same thing?

Apologies in advance but imagine the scene, the police arrive at a crash and the disc states three occupants but they only find one body. Are the other two lying on the verge somewhere or are they sitting at home in front of Eastenders?
And how would it cope with taxis?
If Big Brother gets his way we'll all have to have ID cards and said data could be held there. But what happens when you lose yours? Perhaps we'll all end up being micro-chipped like they do with cats and dogs!

Oh... now I know what that mysterious lump is in me arm... wasn't there last night!

Got my lump from the Flu injection this morning but I suppose those in Oz don't need such things (except in the Snowy Mountains, (Mighty Big River another John Williamson song)).
Any how I wear an SOS Talisman, all relevant details Blood Type, Allergies, Contact Details etc. And all emergency crews recognise it.
Sorry off topic again.

A bit like those "Baby/Little Princess/Scrote on board" signs. I think they should be removed if they are indeed at home watching Eastenders. A fireman (or someone else) could waste a lot of time looking for a non-existent occupant.
Anyway, back on topic. Can all tax discs be removed now even if they have 6 months left to run?

Yes you can throw it away.

There's an obvious answer to this question, but this is a family forum.....
I'll pass on that one , mot's as well :claphappy:
