Some fucking cunt broke into my car and stole my fucking tax disc.

Not only that but because I had no tax disc visible I got a fixed penalty notice of £60 from the Police for what they term "failing to display". Yeah so technically it is an offence but I'm the victim of a crime I would have thought the constable would have seen that my car had been broken into and shown some discretion.

It actually says on the fixed penalty notice that they will not accept any mitigation and will not enter into correspondence.

So it's the triple whammy of now having to pay for repairs, pay this damn fixed penalty and pay £7 to get a replacement tax disc posted to me.

Okay sorry I was so caught up in my rant I overlooked that non-Brits probably wouldn't know what a tax disc is.

So basically it is a paper disc about the size of coffe cup lid that needs to be displayed in the windscreen of your car to show that you've paid tax on the vehicle. It can be paid for either a 6 month or 12 month term.

Stupid fucking antiquated system despite it having a fully computerised back end that allows people to check easily via a database whether a vehicle has been taxed or not. So the copper would probably have checked the database and seen that my car was taxed (having an untaxed vehicle on the road is a different and more serious offence) but issued me a fixed penalty notice anyway because there was no disc on display.
