My lad passed his test recently and now owns a Mk.1 (02-plate) Ford Focus Zetec 1.6 petrol. Nice car, in fairly good shape, 6 months' MOT left on it. Unfortunately came with tax til the end of September.
Bought the tax online on the 23rd of September, and haven't received a tax disc (nor do I expect to now, but I had expected to receive one before the end of September, even if I would have had to cut it out myself with scissors...)
Peeled his expired tax disc off his windscreen last night.
My Coupe is taxed til February, so I will be removing its disc then.

My Jan 15 tax disc has been removed.
In other news did you hear about the 'spate' of numberplate thefts daaarn saaarf ?? theory being that now you don't need a Tax Disc you can whip the plates off a similar-model car somewhere and roll around completely 'legal' as far as the ANPR can tell.

....only a matter of time before someone's failure to avoid a collision is attributed to the blind spot caused by a tax disc / holder.
