Something in the chapter I found interesting, which comes back to the problem of so many people being involved in the collection, administration and policy of motor taxation, is that the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport issued 21 million renewal notices in 2010, which 17 million people paid and 4 million people did not. Those who did not pay were issued with a final notice, but as soon as a final notice is issued the process stops and there is no follow-up or further action. I found this rather startling.
