UK Valid insurance
There is any easy way to know if a driver has valid insurance.
The road tax 5% goes towards the roads, yet they are talking about tolling the roads to cover road costs!
I suggest they do away with road tax and put the insurance on the windscreen in the same place.
The tax on petrol/diesel and LPG is way high enough to cover the costs of the roads and much more.
In South Africa pre ANC the government had a 3rd party fund covering all qualified car drivers not banned. The tax on the fuel paid for this fund. It was the choice of the vehicle owner if they wanted to buy comprehensive insurance to cover the car from vandalism, fire, theft and vehicle damage costs.
It would be easy to put such a fund in place here as well, but they don't want to do that - they want you to pay tax on overly inflated car insurances always required. They spend a fortune on police in car linked cameras for checking number plates and punishing motorists, instead they should take away big brother, stop punishing motorists and invest in a similar fund. We the people pay enough tax and its being used against us rather than to help us.
