I don't think that is true. They will still want to know who the owner
is, etc. and the tax disc gives them the opportunity to try to force
that to be checked every year.

And also to check that the ****er has insurance.

Absolutely.

And when is something going to be done about checking that the vehicle
as declared and in reality match up? It is a suspicion of mine that a
lot of the customisations are never declared to insurers. I see and hear
quite a few cars that I certainly wouldn't insure for any money!

Possibly about time insurers asked for photos of vehicles.

Yes- I know that when a claim arises, the insurer will look more closely
and might well not pay out. But some people seem to be getting away with it.
