Default tax disc performation

besides the fact that the tax disc is one of the most ridiculous things we still need to bother with, why do they make the perforation around the outside so rubbish?

I cannot be the only one who has ripped a chunk out of the tax disc as the perforation is crap.

scrap the disc, put fuel up 5p a litre.

is it really necessary to tax cars these days.... last time I checked, my car ran just fine with no tax disc in the window, however when it ran out of fuel, the bugger wouldn't work.

Just wait 5 months and you won't have the perforations issue

Er, you know the tax disc is being scrapped in October (you still need to pay, though).

It was in fact a test for the Krypton Factor, seems you will not be appearing on the show.

You have to tear tangentially; like two gearwheels, if that makes sense.

I guess I've had a lot of practice.
