It's in the post...

The tax disc is to disappear apparently.  I'm not sure that this is such good news. Government (not just the current one) has a pretty lamentable track record when it come to computerised databases, so whereas at the moment, if you are challenged about whether or not you have paid your road tax, you can point to your tax disc as proof that you have, what will happen in the future?  Suppose "computer says no"?
