For anyone worried about being a day or 2 late with no tax disc, this quote from an article at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/20/anpr_pushed/
suggests that there is a 2 month grace period, of course that wouldnt apply if mr plod stopped you...

"The NAO also says the EVL scheme has failed to close the licensing gaps that existed in the old Post Office paper based system. The DVLA issues late licensing penalties to those who have not renewed their licence two months after the end of the previous expiry date. But customers who obtain a licence starting a month after their previous one has expired are not issued with a penalty notice."

A long time ago I got fined for not having a tax disc. I was actually parked outside the Post Office getting a new one
