Appeal and ask for a fine that is proportional to the amount of time that you had failed to tax the vehicle for. I.e. (annual tax amount/365) x number of days untaxed = fine.

This may be a valid option as it's how it works if you forget to declare a SORN.

I did this a few years back, took the tax holder with the discs into the cop shop and explained my stupidity, I got off with a warning to be more careful since it was not intentional.

Is there an appeal procedure?
As you had paid for the tax disc at the time of the offence and had merely put it behind the previous disc in error it was a genuine mistake and therefore i don't see how you could worsen your situation by appealing.

The thing is you have paid the same for tax as anyone else, this is just robbery
I phoned the non emergency number the other day to report a teenager on a motorbike riding illegally on a cricket pitch. Their response "there is no point in our attending, he will ride off and we're not allowed to pursue"
I asked what if i knocked him off to avoid him running someone over
"Then we will arrest you"
Basically, before you consider talking to the cops you must realise they are c@#ts. You will be made to pay.

That's not true though is it. You have a 14 day exemption where you cannot be prosecuted for failing to display a tax disc if you have applied for a new one on line before the original expired and are waiting for delivery.
I would write to the issuer of the offence letter explaining the circumstances. If you do a search on the net you will find a number of people who've done this and had the offence canceled before it goes to court.

However, many aren't; it's just there are victims of a lazy, corrupt and self-interested state-control system and the politicised idiots that run it for their own gain.

Just had a call from the guy fixing my bike to say that it is ready to be picked up and would I like it MOT'ed as the tax disk has run out.
I was sure that the bike was taxed and I checked the DVLA website .... and yes it is taxed up until the end of October.
Feck knows what I have done with the current tax disk but there is a good chance that it will be underneath last years tax disk ....
Think I had better get it sorted out pronto.
