Road Tax Detector Van...

Charlie, we could all make out SORN statements tomorrow and then go for a drive around town. This van I suppose is one of the tools used to put a stop to that.
Reality however, in my view, is that this is simply one of the governments means of control, they use these vans to show the public that theres no escape, that they must comply. Of course they also promote the myth that VED would be so much less expensive if everyone complied and paid up. They want us to think that theres loads of untaxed, uninsured vehicles out here. I dont believe there are, or at least not enough to matter. I think the numbers are low and the additional income generated from 100% compliance would be negligible. Its about control and compliance.

Well, there's a serial tax dodger lives up our road (usually gives herself a few months tax free before buying a new disk) and Vicki was hit by one. There's two I know of.

I'm pretty sure if I went for an hours walk around the less savoury places I could find lots more.
