yea but its not like you is zipping along at high speedz is it 😀
It's a trick question.
No such thing as a tax disc... 😉
The rules state it should be on the Nearside (against the kerb)
Doesn't state where on the nearside, but I've known pedantic policemen give FPN's for it being at the top of the nearside.

Left, it is on my 87 Westy and was told by the plod that's where it should be "or else mate!" so that's where it is.
Our t4 Westy came with it on the left, put there by the guy who imported it, and that's what he does for a living, so probably knows about these things. Not really thought about it before this though.
Any useful side glass where it'll be out of the way?
I leave mine loose on the dash board so it depends which way I swing the car what side it's on.
I know its illegal but I just don't care, I like to live life on the edge.
I don't tear around the perforations of the disc either, so I've a tax square rather than a tax disc.
**** 'em.
They can issue me with a fixed penalty notice, but they can never take my freedom, or something like that.
