Part P government review 2010/11

Well I only asked a question about it, so the answer must have been from some expert, like you.

[ARWadsworth]

Why? If you look at the thread you will see that I never replied to your question.

I best add "unable to read a thread" to your list of talents.

[dennis]

I see you are an expert in that too.

I'm for the idea that, as I think is the case in some countries, basic third-party motor insurance and road tax are paid for nationally via a levy on fuel for road vehicles. Then there are no uninsured drivers. Insurance companies would then compete to sell higher levels of insurance - regardless of what I got free, I would still want fully- comprehensive insurance with legal protection, personally, while many people driving cheaper cars might still want to add fire and theft cover.

The one thing that would be left to enforce as far as the vehicle goes would be roadworthiness, i.e. MOT. That could be done easily enough via electronic means these days.
