Agreed - there should be a complete change of the system along the lines that you get a new state manufactured and issued number plate every year instead of a tax disc which incorporated it's expiry date and a bar code. No personal plates would be allowed thus removing the knobheads, the plate would only be issued to vehicles that had valid MOT's and insurance. Without exception any vehicles with out of date or no number plates would be seized and crushed along with those flagged on the DVLA data base as having expired insurance.
