Get it coated in clear resin!

I wonder how many cars will still have old discs in them in 12 months time?

This will be handy for all those ex-pats living in France driving ten-year-old cars which haven't been back the UK in years.

There was slight possibility of the Gendarmerie taking an interest in an expired disc but no hope now that discs won't be displayed.

One of my Chamonix friends successfully bluffed the Swiss border guards this way. His 1999 wreck of a Punto hasn't been taxed nor tested in at least ten years. The official wanted to see papers and he just kept answering "all on computer, no papers" until they gave up.

No insurance either, not ideal.

The friend in question is careful to make sure he's fully insured on the car. Yes the small print of the policy says the car must be taxed and tested but as he points out, there isn't a court in the country would allow an insurer to wriggle out once they've taken the punter's premium.

But yes, there are many "valley cars" with no insurance.

This might be old news, but I think it's a good idea...
