http://www.motoring.co.uk/car-news/private-cars-cannot-be-sold-with-road-tax-from-october-2014_60347?utm_source=motoring.co.uk&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=newsletter&src=motoring

Baffling. So I have a car for sale, chap comes and views it and says he wants it, arrange a day for him to collect it, I cancel the tax on the day loosing and tax I have paid into the current month and what if buyer now calls and says he changed his mind and doesn't want it. I have a now untaxed car on a public road, assume you have to tax it online again paying twice for the days in the month that have already passed ?

Yet another way to be shafted by the government. Grrr. Maybe I should cool off and go for a swim in some of the epic pot holes in my road...

So you basically cannot buy a car after work and drive it home.
