The insurance renewal on our car coincides with the road tax, which surely can't be unique. Although the DVLA website encourages early renewal and the online checker confirms that the car is insured, it won't let me renew - presumably because the current insurance expires today and it won't look at the new insurance until tomorrow, by which time I'll be illegal. As I'm going into hospital first thing tomorrow I won't be able to try again until Thursday. What a farce.
