Hmm if they can read it I would say its ok, much like the signature stip on cards?

Personally I would take it to the P.O and ask them, they may simply replace it?

I would go into the DVLA office and they will deal with it, replacement or re-write it.

All on computer now, I'd not worry about it tbh.

Traffic wardens don't have direct access to the Dvla, so you could get a fine for non display of a legal tax disc.

fook that! Anyone got a pic of whats written on a fabia vrs disc and ill write it back on with my details.

Write over it in pen! Simples

Get it direct from dvla next time and it will be printed on.

By the way, it's probably caused by moisture.

Does yours steam up much?

I would if there was anything to write over! Its gone completely so i dont know what says what and where!

Didn't realise we had any sun this year......must have missed it.:)

I wouldn't worry about it, loads of people's tax discs fade and all that happens is that you're reported to the DVLA who will upon investigated realise that it is taxed. I have never bothered getting it sorted after several of mine have faded over the years.

On the left hand side Skoda Fabia, under that the Reg. No. On the right just the amount of tax £135 if I remember the correct amount.

Leave it.

More chance of getting done (stung worse) if you tamper with it.

Serves you right for living somewhere sunny, ! :rofl: not a chance round here, to be serious the police can scan the barcode to see if its legal

Yeah I've decided to leave it and ill play dumb if I get stopped etc.

I believe the 'offence' is failing to display a current tax disc, which is barmy and out of date as an offence as it's all on 'puter now. anyway you are displaying a curent tax disc, so I wouldn't be overly concerned. the serial number is still showing so they can check against that.

Personally I think the traffic warden would have to be a right **** to book you. Hmmmm might want to ring up the DVLA and ask just to be sure!
