My last road fund licence disc expired on 30th September, so there was no point in my keeping the tax disc holder in the windscreen after that. However, although they are no longer required, I see more cars with tax discs on than without. OOI, are there any here who have removed the tax disk holder from their vehicles, even though the tax has not yet expired?

I haven't.
I'm probably going to keep a bit of paper in there to remind me when I have to renew mine (and insurance as it is the same month).
Might even print a "fake" disc for fun :)
But I intend to keep my last disc as a momento...

Presumably shares in Richbrook have plummeted?

No. Not yet, might get around to it if I think about it at the right moment.
Actually one is displaying a current tax disc (expires Jan 15) and the other has an expired tax disc (expired Aug 14) The tax disc for the latter car never made it into the car it seems :-)
Yea a purple and gold one..

Me. Because I could.
My tax disc holder has them all stacked behind each other.
I noticed Halfords are still selling tax disc holders...

I applied for the tax disk for Hil's mobility cart (required because it is capable of 8mph) about six months ago. The tax disc came last week, so I bought a tax disk holder for it yesterday, out of mad. I wonder if that was the last one sold?

I'm keeping mine for ever.

ICBA. Might do it when it comes to renewal and I don't have a bit paper to replace but I wouldn't like to bet on it. Might just leave there because I can. B-)

I should hang on to it because you might need it again once they realise just how easy it will be for any DIY number plate maker to avoid road tax MOT and insurance.
Well, they have a stock of them, & customers can't come back & argue that one was defective...
Useful for holding non-sticky pay & display tickets in place?
In much of London at least there's an ever increasing need to display proof of payment of the council tax supplement (usually a round bit of paper labelled "resident's parking permit"). And few people adopt my DIY approach of "whatever tape happens to be at hand" (which I may change now I can retiure the tax disc).
