Its a half measure. Why not put it onto fuel?
Why should someone who drives 50 miles per year pay as much as somebidy who drves 20,000 miles?
Id be happy to see it on fuel, despite doing a lot of miles, as not only would it reduce the size of the sloth like DVLA office, but anyone in a
moving vehicle would have paid it. It simplifies massively the process of owning a number of vehicles used for only part of a year (in the past you
could leave them taxed and just dayinsure them if they were kept off road but that's now impossible.....)

police / traffic warden never go down this road how do Joe public know if it has tax if there is no tax disc ?
Does it really matter? OK they may be breaking the law, but some people don't have a driveway to take a vehicle off-road for SORN. As long as
they don't drive it anywhere, I don't object - legally wrong, but not morally wrong.
As soon as they drive it, they risk being caught - it's not just on motorways, there are cameras near big shopping centres, on major roads and
the police regularly put mobile cameras at the side of roads. More and more police vehicles are also fitted with cameras which scan the plates of
every vehicle they pass and flag up irregularities. It is likely that they would be caught fairly quickly. It's the ones with false plates or
registered to fictitious addresses that are harder to deal with and that won't change.
