They never learn
Sorry for the lack of posting, but I've had more computer problems. It's been a shame because you can never catch up.
Anyway, from The Times we have the latest "goody" for the motorist. The plan is that you will have to have insurance all the time, so it can never lapse. If you don't have insurance for your vehicle and fail to declare it "off-road" you'll get an automatic fine and the police will be able to come into your driveway and seize your vehicle.
Now I've said before, I have no sympathy with people who drive without insurance, but what's wrong with storing a car off road for two weeks and not renewing your insurance during that time? If your not using your car - you might be abroad, or anything, why shouldn't you save the two weeks of insurance money?
How will this be enforced? Good question well ... "“This will also only catch those people who are already known to the DVLA. The problem with the motoring underclass is that those who pose the greatest risk to others do not appear on databases.”"
Yes it's our old friend and star of many adverts the: DVLA computer. All this will do is encourage more and more people not to bother telling the DVLA anything. Of course it will make it easy to fine the law-abiding citizen, who not using his/her vehicle merely wishes to save some money. Of course that's what it's probably all about, you're not allowed any money, you must spend it all, if not on taxes or insurance then on fines, bourgeoisieism will be defeated, all will be equally wallowing in nothing.
