Tax Discs Thefts
As the UK government is clamping down on vehicles that do not have a current tax disc displayed. This has meant that many bikers are finding that they are having their tax discs stolen off their bikes. Even with the secure tax disc holder. Apparently they just snap the whole unit off.
A tip I have heard about is to photocopy your current VALID tax disc and leave this on the bike and keep the original with you.
This is by all accounts within the law as you have a valid tax disc displayed, but you must carry the original with you at all times when on your bike.
Anyone else heard of this as its £5.00 for each replacement tax disc and in London this is a major problem.
