I don't see that analogy as being a very good one to be honest.
A tax disc allows you to drive on
all UK roads and the money is used to fund construction/maintenance of
all UK roads. The license fee money is for the BBC only, not
all channels.
The BBC equivalent of the tax disc would be one that only allowed you to drive on all the motorways but none of the A or B roads.
