You won't get an automatic fine under the "continuous licensing" legislation until two weeks after the old disc expires.
However, you will get fined if you are caught using the car, or parking it on the public road, at any time after the disc expires.
So the grace period only applies if the car is kept off the road.

There is no longer any 'grace' period.
Fines are now automatic, no license or sorn = fine.
Pay it or Sorn it.
You could SORN it and then tax it when you could afford it, this way someone would have to catch you, not just the computer. Beware that there is automatic number plate recognition on some cameras these days, so if you SORN it, don't put or use the vehicle on a public road.

If you are not going to drive it and you can keep it off road (in a drive or garage) The DVLA will not worry you over a few days providing you tax it from the month it is due.
Telling the DVLA that you are not using it, In other words declaring SORN just for a few days is not worth the hassle.

There are actually not any days grace, in spite of the undeniable fact that, that is not likely which you would be prosecuted interior the 1st 30 days as long as your tax is backdated to while the final disc expired. If in spite of the undeniable fact which you have an twist of destiny, or commit another site visitors offence then your failure to show a tax disc will merely approximately actually arise in coourt.

Technically you have no grace, but if you pay by cheque as late as possible on the 30th you will get your tax disk and the cheque probably won't clear until you get paid.
They have very little sympathy as they argue that you know the tax is due so you should have saved up.
Sorry that's just the way it is with Gordon the robbing b*stard in charge of the treasury

None. Technically, you have to SORN it for the four days, then tax it. You used to be able to just not tax it for the four days, which was fine if it wasn't on the road, but I'm not sure if you can do it now. Why not phone the DVLA for advice?

You are on the Internet. Just SORN the car and then go to the post office to tax it again when you get paid.

you could asways declare your car off road therefore you wouldnt have to pay tax and you wouldnt get a fine and when you have got the money for your tax you can put it back on the road

You don't get any days grace. It should be renewed before the old one runs out.
