If we're honest ANPR isn't that great.
This way will also help quieten the pressures groups.
It's also going to swell the government coffers.
You've never had it so good.

This perhaps has some tie in with the fact that from later in the year (Oct?) you will be able to buy road tax by monthly direct debit (about time too!) which will presumably significantly reduce the number of people sitting with a prepaid roadfund license on their hands that they may seek to get a refund on?

Perhaps the simplest solution, however perhaps to simple for the DVLA... when a car is sold it is taxed to the end of the month in which it is sold, the seller receiving a refund on the unused whole months, the new owner taking up the responsibility of taxing the vehicle at the start of the following month.

why can they not pro rata it..the license is no longer paper based so there is no requirements for whole months and their multi coloured discs

The discs are going and I doubt their software is capable of anything as clever as pro rata-ing, we are talking Govt. dept. after all

And this law won't make a blind bit of difference to them either.

I've just had a thought - how about just leave the whole thing alone?

Paper discs aren't perfect it's true, but they're a whole less ****ed up than the new silliness being proposed.

Oh for goodness sake, Sid. You and your revolutionary wild thinking again.
