Number plate theft and cloning will go through the roof!
I was agreeing with you and giving chapter and verse as a pre-emptive strike! It was Churchill, I think, who said that the idea that this tax should be used for the upkeep of the roads was total nonsense - just after WWI. Road tax was abolished in 1937. Was pre emptive as I still hear people much younger than I referring to the "RFL" as if it it were a reality!
I think most people refer to it as Road Tax, whatever the government choose to call it.
The official name I believe is Vehicle Tax or Vehicle Excise Duty, but really it is, as I said, just a revenue stream. If it were ever to be abolished it would just be put on something else (glass eyes, white sticks, etc.).
Agreed! Which is why we find these articles about "if it were spent on the roads..." turning up. I remember a staff room "debate" about this very subject in 1963. One of the others had just bought his first car...
Obviously the authorities feel the technology is now advanced enough to cope with paperless taxation. Well we've had pointless political dithering all my life! Just wondering how long it will be before they start thinking it might be a good idea to have a paper version as a backup!
