If you can't afford to tax it, find another method of transport.
Can't afford to tax it at the time!! I repeat at the time 
Once you can afford to tax it then tax it and take the fines on the chin. If you can't afford the fines pay them up in installments which the court will allow you to do IF the DVLA take you to court. Unless you are loaded then they won't allow you to pay up in installments

And you are............?
If you can't afford road tax for your car you certainly won't be able to afford to get the bus or train to work. I couldn't anyway.
Like I said you can't say anything without faggots like you sticking your politically correct nose in.

Can't afford to get a bus? FLOL Tax is over £100, bus is going to be £10 for a week. If you can't afford that then how can you run a car on todays petrol prices? Also you would rather pay £90 (or whatever it is) in fines but can't even afford to get the bus?

You bus and trains round your way must be very expensive.
Do you even know what politically correct means? Its got fuck all to do with buying road tax I think your an idiot for knowing your tax has run out and rather pay the fine AND then the actual road tax. Its not like you pay the fine and they give you your tax is it?
Also im pretty sure if you have an accident and need to claim its just not going to happen if you have no road tax? Either way imo i just dont see the point in knowingly not paying your road tax (read do-gooder if your a moron)

You don't know where I live or where I work so where the hell dd you pluck 10 quid a week for the bus? Maybe in your situation mate! When I drive to work I spend roughly £100 a week on petrol. If I get the train it would cost me at least £30 a day (not including bus to train station etc) And if I was to get the bus then I wouldn't make my work on time and it would cost about the same as the train.
To sum up........car to work WITH tax = £220
car to work WITHOUT tax = £100
train to work = £150 Plus bus fares
Like I said take the fines on the chin IF you get any! Pay them up etc

Your insurance isn't invalid if you drive with no tax so there's your first fail!
Secondly my method is certainly the non PC way of getting to work when your too skint to buy tax so therefor my method will recieve criticism from PC people like yourself!! Away and badger someone else!!

I did pluck £10 from thin air, but thats what it would cost me to get to work in a week.
But it's not like you are given a days notice on tax. You're given a month, and in that month set aside £120 or whatever for tax. It's not difficult. Hell, if you are actually switched on you could save for it 6 months in advance. It's common sense.

In hind sight yes! That's definitely what I should have done but I totally forgot about it and when I got the notice through I had to pay for other things. It's not as if I dodge my road tax every 6 months. I've paid mine on time everytime, it's just when it came around to buying my last one in April I think it was I was skint and risked it and got caught and don't regret it because my options were minimal. I don't advise people to go around driving with no tax for the hell of it but if your skint then you should risk it but face a fine when you get caught.

Im pretty sure your car isn't insured unless taxed, when I passed I wasnt taxed but was covered by insurance and had to have tax to be insured

You can't get tax from a post office without an insurance document, you drive without tax and your insurance is void. Get the fucking point.

Its a £45 fine plus court costs. That is all.
It could be an £80 fine from the DVLA if you leave it longer than a month before you tax it again or sorn it, but if your taxing it next month its not really a problem.
Ive ran no end of cars without tax, if you get tugged just bullshit the copper that pulls you and tell him you taxed it online today and your waiting for the disc to come through. It wont show up on the system as it takes up to 4 weeks for the system to be updated. Usually they let you off with the benefit of the doubt, worst case scenario is they report to the DVLA that you are not displaying a valid tax disc and you get the said £45 fine plus court costs.
As for insurance being invalid, that is also bullshit. Your 3rd party cover is always in place regardless of the legality of your car, all it can affect is your comprehensive cover as there may be clauses in the policy to say that in the event of the policy holder making a claim the car must fit certain criteria, however the third party cover is never affected, ever. Its the same as all this if you dont declare mods your not insured bullshit - it only affects your comprehensive cover, not your 3rd party cover.
So to sum up, yes you should be ok to drive to work until you get paid. The probability of being pulled during rush hour is very slim and your just plain unlucky if you do. Just be careful of ANPR cameras as they will dish out a £45 fine every time you drive past one.

Shes wrong, and so is everyone else, making themselves look like fools and giving him shit just to join the do good gang. If they did the research and spoke to an insurance assessor they would soon find out that they are wrong and owe him an apology for being cunts.

If you are restricted to 3rd party only it is as good as having no insurance. Guess what, if you crash you have no insurance for your car. They leave it as 3rd party so atleast the unlucky person you hit isn't going to be punished for your stupidity.

For arguments sake though, you still hold the minimum amount of cover required by law to drive on a public highway. So the lad is right, and the doo gooders are wrong.
On a separate note: I never buy comprehensive cover, but thats because ive never owned a car worth over 5k before. If i had a bump id rather pay £500-£600 to get it repaired than have a £1000 hike in my premium plus a £500 excess to pay to fix it, or if it was a complete mess id set fire to it and say it was nicked. Fully comp is only worth having really if your car is worth in excess of 5k.
