I guess it is a question of police workload, resourcing and priorities.
"When stopped and questioned, the defendant replied variously, m'lud, that
he had just acquired the vehicle, and that the tax disc was in the post/
must have fallen off the windscreen and blown out the window/been eaten by
the family Rottweiler. I requested that he produce the tax disc at a police
station of his choice within fourteen days, which he failed to do. I then
issued a summons etc etc etc.
In some parts of our cities, what would you have the police do, chase tax
discs or try to keep the streets safe?
