Why don't we all just sell/buy our cars at the end of the month and foil their cunning plan?

Meanwhile, back at Mr Reality's house, there are 29 million cars in the UK at this time - if 20% of these are bought/sold every year, and the average car tax rate is £300 (estimating on the high side), that means that 6 million X monthly refund amount(£300 /12 = £25), means that approx. £150 million per year - probably more likely to be around £100 million. So not billions...... Around a fiver for every car in the UK each year - less than a gallon of petrol per car.....
