I wonder how that will affect historic vehicles that do not pay road tax? Will we still have to register?
I'll assuming so (there are, after all, many modern cars, of low emission, which pay no tax).
The problem with the linked article is that it's a journalist's lightweight take on the situation. I'm (perhaps naively) assuming that when people's paper discs run out, over the next year, the reminder letter will tell us how to register online, rather than how to get the next disc?
