will they fine me for it being 2 years out of date

[Seanl]

No I wouldn't have thought so. If you are caught driving whilst its out of date though, that may be another matter.

Quick bit of praise for the DVLA. I sold my old car on Sunday 3rd April and completed the change of details on the DVLA website on Monday. Yesterday I received my tax refund cheque and today I got confirmation by post of change of the vehicle's keeper.

Very quick turn around. Does it ever take 4-6 weeks or is that just so they can surprise people?
