Motorists have been warned that missing vehicle tax payments could see them hit with an £80 fine and their vehicle clamped.
You must tax your vehicle to use it on the roads and can pay as a one-off for the year or through a Direct Debit that takes the money out in smaller chunks.
Some drivers who are paying monthly appear to be missing their payment dates and may not even realise. The RAC says there has been an increase in drivers having their vehicle tax Direct Debits cancelled by DVLA after payments couldn't be taken due to a lack of funds.
