HUNDREDS of people in Glasgow are potentially driving with out-of-date tax discs because of a "technical error".

The fault applies to new ones ordered on January 24, online or by telephone.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency said the error, which caused a "delay" in sending out tax discs, affected around 1000 people in Scotland and 11,000 across Britain.

The DVLA insists people who applied for a disc on January 24 will still be registered as being taxed on its database.
