[QUOTE="waverider, post: 33579, member: 176800"] Well I totally oppose any new scheme placing extra tax on fuel when already the government taxes fuel at around 60%..this scheme would then make it even easier for illegal road user's to use their vehicles more without being detected for having no insurance etc, as we all know that when we tax a vehicle a current insurance and M.O.T certifcates are required. At least with the current system the Police can easily identify if someone is possibly driving illegal, also vehicles without a current tax disk are now being removed where they are parked and being used on a public highway, and quite a few are not being claimed due to the fact the owner probably was not within the law!. The only answer I can see is that the current govenment and it's Predecessor failed to keep up with the times by not increasing the numbers of the Police force with an increasing population. The reason we now have speed Cameras is because clearly the roads cannot be patrolled as they were twenty years ago. To add further tax to fuel and to eliminate the disc as we all know it will cause a landslide of illegal drivers and offences that will never be solved and those of us whom who bide by the law will then have to compensate the insurance companys by paying a much increased premium to cover increased 'Hit and Run Drivers'! etc. [/QUOTE]
