End of the tax disc

why does it make it easier to clone a car - I don't understand
cloning a car is pretty easy any way,
I see a silver Audi A4, same model as mine and I copy the plates - it has been that simple for ages

sure I get that
but as I said in an earlier post I wonder how many people were (in the last few years) caught by the Mk1 eyeball - i.e. actually looking at the tax disk
the police would do a number plate lookup and parking wardens could not give a ****
my point is the people cloning cars before 1st of October are more than likely the same people who are going to do it now
and the simple fact is, computerising the system (MOT's Insurance and VED) simply makes sense and is harder to abuse,
you will always get the serial abusers - and they are by definition harder to catch
but the try it on "tax is in the post brigade" of old, the "casual abuser" in other words, are now dead and buried

Not sure what the big deal is, I've always found the tax disc looks wrong on any of my cars or bikes & haven't displayed one for several years. I've never had any fine or issue over it & even the police didn't care when I got pulled as they could tell it was taxed from the registration number.

The "failure to display" has been a nonsense for years
This initiative just recognises this simple fact

If you got away with it then fair enough.

and I mean prosecuted solely for that offence - not counting scenarios where the police lump it in with a load of other offences, to keep the stats up
but an otherwise law abiding person who's car is taxed mot'd and insured, parked correctly etc etc - but they have not been displaying a Tax Disk
I reckon it would be virtually zero
what do you reckon

sure I had my Tax disk stolen a couple of times from my caterham7 (which is why did not bothered to display for years)
what were you doing to attract the police attention - was the bike stationary
