Is it true that in the UK you can drive with a foreign tax disc for 6 months before you must get an English one? If so, how does this work? how do the authorities know how long a car has been in the country?

Police and traffic wardens fill in cards that specify the date, place and vehicle details of any foreign vehicles they see on the road and send them of to be recorded.
