This should of been done long ago

If only there was a unique individual identification mark for every vehicle you could then attach insurance, tax and mot details to that and have it easily accessible on a database ....

There is! It's called a number plate! :wink:

That's all they use on these tax checking cameras now. Number plate recognition.

Now all they need is someway of connecting computers together so they can share information and they will be laughing ...

Excellent news.

The whole process is finally being pulled out of the Neanderthal era in its entirety.

Hopefully other public sector areas will follow suit with regards to millions of reams of paper, ink, power and wasted work hours used in producing mindless paper chases all for the sake of fear of change.
 
Am sure it'll take a while to retire the old tax disc....... a few parliamentary committees, some impact assessments, retraining all those civil servants.... give it another 5 years at least.

Just edited my posts to correct it from year to years which is what they said it would take to see the Disc vanish.

:wink: and I bet the cost won't come down with all the "reduced admin"
 
i think all the oap's will strongly object to this :rofl:

personally i believe it should of been done at least 5 years ago
 
I have to say I'd be quite sad to see the tax disc go...I love the moment when it arrives and I can fold back the edges and tear the perforations :D

Makes sense to me, as said previously it can all be done by NPR systems, do you think it could increase cloning?

this would be my concern. right now u need the tax disk to match up with the numberplate, not hard to forge or steal, but its far easier if you only have to make up a number plate every few months. maybe they should put a tag inside the window which will be paired with the cars VIN number. then ticket inspectors can scan each car as there checking tickets???
