When can you legally display your new tax disc?

[Admin/Founder 2]

Just wondered being paranoid ill forget to change them over,when can you display your new tax disc?

Do i have to wait until the old one runs out or can i display it now and will i be breaking any laws if i do so?

im assuming if you've already bought it its your property so you can display it as soon as you have it?

The DVLA will not issue a new one until after the 5th of the month in which the disc expires at the end of

If i can display it now it'll be easier than forgetting it on the last day of the month

What does everybody else do?

I always display mine as soon as I get it through the post. Providing there is no gap between the new and the old I don't think you will have any problems as like mot and insurance the road tax is on the DVLA computer base and is accessable to the police etc.
