David Cameron has asked the Treasury and Department for Transport to come up with some creative ideas around road tax in the UK. There have been a few ideas already announced to the public including a two-tier tax system.
Each of the systems announced require all manner of technologies including number plate recognition.
One of the issues is how to protect drivers who don’t use their vehicle often, and how to encourage drivers to own efficient cars.
My dad is a complete technophobe and has been suggesting an alternative system for ages. His answer is so simple that it doesn’t require any technology at all. Just add a small amount set aside for road tax to the cost of petrol or diesel and abandon road tax altogether.
No road tax discs, no number plate recognition. No policing whether drivers have paid for road tax. The more you drive, the more tax you pay. The more efficient the car, the less tax you pay.
