However, the DVLA uses common sense and does not automatically send out fines if their computer shows that you have not taxed your car by the 1st.
You might well have 14 days "grace" but I wouldn't risk it.

my friend was due her mot yesterday and unfortunately the computers had gone down so she couldnt get it done until a later date but she was planning on the car passing the test and then going to get her tax that had expired on 31st march after not getting her mot done she rang the mot centre and asked would it be possible to get an exemption certificate so that she can tax her car and she got put thru to the manager who then told her she had 14 days to tax her car so not to be worrying about it.
