UK to abolish requirement to display tax disc

porsche959 · 2013-12-05 16:16:16

I see the UK is to abolish the requirement to display motor tax discs. The UK disc was in any case of modest size. By contrast the number of discs required to be displayed in Ireland is ludicrous and could be argued to inhibit visibility. When is the Irish motorist going to shout stop to ever increasing regulations?…

It's ok in the uk not to have any discs on display though due to the ANPR system they have over there.

We don't have anpr in most areas here so the easiest way to tell if someone has tax/nct/insurance is by looking at the windscreen.
