From 1st oct 2014 you will be able to pay your road tax by direct debit, annually, biannually or monthly. Not a bad idea. Also the paper tax disc first issued in 1921 will no longer be issued, and you will no longer be required to display it in your windscreen. A digital copy being kept by the DVLA. As 99% of drivers pay up on time and the main enforcement being the use of ANPR in police cars who will also have access to DVLA records, this is another way for the government again to cut costs. But at present both traffic wardens and PCO,s look out for untaxed cars, will this then encourage more people to chance getting away without paying it? As this will make it easier to do as all cars will look the same taxed or untaxed.
Got an opinion? Let me know.

Are intensive driving courses a good thing or not? They might suit some but not most. Can you really learn to drive in one or two week’s? Driving is a life skill that needs to be fully taken in and I do not feel that can be fully achieved in 5days. Yes you can pick up the basic ideas and principles of driving, but you need more time to digest the magnitude of being on the road. Both the pupil and instructor are under pressure from the start to complete the course which does not help. It is as it says intense, driving for 5 hours a day is hard, and difficult to keep up the concentration required as an experienced driver let alone for a novice driver.
I know people want to learn as fast as possible, but you must remember this is a skill that will last you all your life, and its a skill that if not used or learnt properly has the potential to Kill you, I sometimes think that people only look at the cost and want the cheap deal instead of thinking about the quality of instruction they are getting. But that is how society is now everyone wants the quick fix!
Personally I feel you need time to properly learn and apply the skills needed to become a safe and competent driver, some will disagree. But if it was my child I was sending out to learn I would like to be as sure as I could be that they were learning fully everything they need to keep them as safe as possible on the road. Not just the quick fix.
Got an opinion? Let me know.
