So I bought my car in November, but I won't be driving it until January earliest, possibly even February. I just realised after seeing this thread, that I'll owe 2-3 months road tax by then without ever driving it!!! Is there any way I can avoid this because there's no way I want to pay over €200 for absolutely nothing. Would have been grand in the old system, I just totally forgot about the new way of doing things.
