No sadness from me in seeing it go.
One less thing for me to have stuck to my windscreen (I only have two - Tax and MOT (oh and the rear-view mirror, but that doesn't count in this context)).
I hate those static disc holders.

As it was irrelevant for day to day enforcement it is probably a good thing that it is going. It will make the administration for businesses much easier. No having to get the discs into the right car on the right day problems again. Great for fleet operators.

Concern over how you'll check if it comes with "road tax" if buying second hand. Also, IIRC, the BBC did an article about why VED was called "road tax".  _________________ He fights for the users.

I still like the German method, no tax = no insurance = no registration plate.

I've always been amazed we haven't had to have insurance disc to try any cut down on people giving false details at incidents.
No insurance disc in the window, call the police regardless of whether anyone was hurt.

Would work most of the time but not on the company policies where you can drive any car, but then you should carrry it on you I think _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Anyway these days they (Police etc) can check it (Tax and insurance) automatically via the cameras on thier cars You need(ed) insurnace to get a tax disk here - although nothing stopping the uninsured to get insurnace for 1 day / week so they can get the tax disk and then let it lapse If it was the registration plate they would just do the same
