when the day comes that all mp`s use public transport, and i am talking around the shires, not from their free accomodation in london, to and from work on the tube, i will pay up, otherwise forget it.
also how many non uk plates on cars and trucks do you see, how will they pay?
so when the law ever takes off, get a time share in spain/france get some europlates
and laugh as you enjoy the cheap petrol and free road tax that will have to come to sweeten the pill of yet another half baked idea
suggest my ideas to be far better
1st any non uk reg car/truck pays a weekly road tax, with a max rebate to any motor of 2wks per year, this keeps the tourist industry happy, and gets the black economy paying some tax
2 to buy petrol your car/driver has to produce documents, swipe a card, to prove/confirm tax/insurance, so that any stolen car car gets picked up, note that the big petrol guys have numberplate cameras now to catch non payers, and most hgv drivers have to swipe b4 they pay already, so this is not rocket science, just another use for chip and pin
get all the uninsured and unroadworthy cars of the streets 1st
anybody convicted of car related crime [not parking/speeding] gets 3yr ban
then ensure that any fine is at least five times a fully comp price, so if local asbo nicks my motor
were not talking £350 and points on a licence they don`t own anyway,
lets say
mcs works, under 21 sir, driving/learning less than a year, bet loyds quote 3-4k min
so the git has to fork out 10-20k, that will make them think twice
making driving without insurance painfull and difficult will make it cheaper for the rest of us
