Yes, it must be a good thing to pick up the persistent dodger who has
never taxed the vehicle and probably does not have MOT / Insurance
either. But do you also want to prosecute the little old lady who fully
intends to renew her tax as she has for the last 40 years, but forgot
to go to the post office at the right time, and is now 20 days past the
renewal date? What about all the poor sods who have had someone
"borrow" their name and address when filling in the vehicles V5?

As usual, many of the schemes can only cut 'crime' if criminals give
correct details in the first place.


, remember back to the assurances given that speed cameras would only
ever be placed "close to accident black spots" on the actual roads
where the accidents happened... how long did that last before "close to
accident black spot" became "within a 'n' mile radius, and on any road
in the area"?)

.... and after the once badly designed road has had a major layout change
to cure the problem.
