Yesterday I went for a 125 + mile ride and stopped for a coffee at Compton Abbas airfield cafe, which is always good for a chuckle.
When I walked back to my bike I spotted that my tax disc ran out at the end of August. I had the new one sat in a safe place in the kitchen at home. I renewed it on line the day the reminder dropped through the letter box some weeks ago. It was too early to fit so I put it in the kitchen cupboard and promptly forgot it !
Maybe in future I shall just fit it when I get it. As I generally don't leave the bike unattended and plod seem to rely on ANPR the chances of getting spotted are slim and I would only be failing to display the old disc, which I could keep in my wallet.
