I did some trawling as I remember reading something a while back and found this:
http://www.nidirect.gov.uk/car-tax-rules
and the attached.
So looks like I am legally entitled to drive the car as I have bought the tax prior to the month due to start (and have not driven it before hand) and prior to the SORN expiring. Unless you search for such information it is not obvious or made clear.

Sadly, it's the way things are outside the military, I used sick leave for my parents, and no longer work for British Airways, terrible employer.

My thoughts exactly, I've walked out of work before now stating the above much to the annoyance of my line manager. I told him in no uncertain terms what to do with views, he never spoke about it again, found out he had a family matter soon after and changed his views on the subject! These days employers have to be savvy concerning employee rights and most will go by the book and just give the minimum. I cannot complain too much as they paid me but what price do you put on such trauma? Rights for newborns just don't stack up when compared to losing a loved one.

I think I should have done something similar as I was struggling to do anything in this time.

It used to be 5 days grace if you applied on line, I would print a copy of the screen and carry it until the disc arrives.

Fitted my new number plates then took it for a shake-down. All seems well, feels strange as not driven it for 8 months! Then on my return noticed the offside rear brake disc was hot and my new paint burning! Looks like I need to back off the handbrake a tad. So a job for Saturday, so no Friday treat for me to work and back

Hmm we are up to 5days here but possibly as with other places it depends on you manager and collegues, here I know they would work out what needs covered and sort it so time off could be taken as required. Unlikely to be same in all other boxes mind you.
Good to hear the ZS is almost fully rolling again. As talking says, there is a 5 day grace period at least anything after that a it can be "failure to display valid tax disc". Now it could be more as I think it may have been a week as I had to temporarily park up the new ZS as the wait for plate changes eyc meant tax had fan out and didn't have fresh one to display.
