Re: This should be one of the easiest taxes to collect ...
"ANPR camera at every petrol station. No current record, no petrol (and maybe the drive-off barriers come up for good measure)."
Asked my MP this a few years ago - no TAX, MOT or Insurance - no fuel.
Received letter from then Transport Minister saying that "we could not expect non-Police Officers to maintain law, or stand in the firing line of angry customers" and a note from my MP saying that "the economy could not stand 1% of people suddenly not being able to get to work" (and some mutterings about foreign plates)
