Wouldn't surprise me. You can't even get on a bus in London now without one of those silly Oyster cards

Sounds better to me, all things considered.
Random thoughts...
Drive a vehicle in the uk and big brother has all the tabs it needs on you more or less.
Will this mean an end to those road blocks checking motors for tax discs as they pass?
Will it put an end to motorists driving without tax/insurance/MOT a lot of those offenders being, how shall we say? Not of UK origin?
Will a number of flatfoots go into shutdown mode the first day all motors are zooming around without a valid tax disc. For those uniformed chappies who may be slow-witted, the situation is likely to send the nickometer into overload.
Does this mean I won't be able to use a Guinness bottle label as a tax disc anymore?
Will the novelty for some drivers, on being able to have a completely clear windscreen mean they will discard all stickers, air fresheners and furry dice?
I wonder

ANPR is only as good as the data bases everything is stored on. And the DVLA data base has been known to be out dated at times..

Not a chance.
Better still would be to abolish the tax altogether and add it on to the price of petrol. Then ALL drivers will pay it and those that do the most miles will effectively pay more. Seems very fair to me.
