Car being traded in on 2nd of next month.

Don't suppose DVLA's computer would overlook the 2 days and doubt
whether the garage will backdate their ownership of the car.

Looks like the best option is to drop the car off on the 28th and manage
without until the new one is available on the 2nd.

IME you have 1 month before the DVLA will issue a fine.

There is still the problem of being caught by ANPR on the way there on
the 2nd - how about booking a MOT test?

I did that with the daughters car when we met at Warwick services and I
brought it up to Preston to get an MOT and looked at for a water leak.
Garage owner laughed his head of, but agreed there was nothing the
police could do about it, because it was on its way for a pre booked
MOT. The law does not stipulate were, or how far away, the MOT station
should be. It passed, with no recommendation's, by the way.
