Utter tossers if thats the case!

 

The uk is so backwards it will not go forwards

Genius that way you loose your last part of the month and the new owner losses the first part of the month. Gov win win all part of the austerity measures remember were all in together well maybe not the bankers the politicians and the rich but the rest of us.

Time to get a mog and run on red and free tax

In eire you have 2 screen stickers

 

1) road tax

2) insurance

 

I would add a third

 

3) mot

 

You can then check at a glance that car is legal.......

Simple and effective

 

Can only assume they are moving to automated no plate recognition With fixed fines possibly automated from your credit card........

 

My mate is magistrate and he tells me number of cases on courts has crashed as bobbies are dishing out fixed penalties for pretty much everything including assault with a weapon

 

Not good when one body is enforcement officer , judge and jury ...

 

How soon before someone gets £50 for carrying a silkie/chainsaw in his car?

They aren't judge and jury because you can decline the ticket and get a judge, if not jury

 

You cant be fined for legitimately carrying the tools of your trade.
