The DVLA themselves have put forward that road tax should be scrapped and the money recovered via a slight increase in fuel tax, and they are obviously right when they say that income would be higher as naughty people without tax disks would have to pay at the pumps. They also floated the idea of a combined MOT/Insurance disk for cars as they hold all that information already.

I find it odd that their ideas are ignored by HMG time and again.... especially now when reduced use of vehicles/more efficient engines = reduced tax to pay = cleaner environment.
