Yes, ANPR cameras will be the main weapon in detecting untaxed, uninsured and untested vehicles. I’ve got no problem with that; it is about time these vehicles and their owners were chased off the roads.
Really? Let us hope that the address on record is the same as the vehicles usual location, since those without tax, insurance and/or MoT might also have ‘forgotten’ where they live…
I have noticed more fixed roadside cameras that are clearly not designed to catch speeding; maybe these are for catching untaxed vehicles?
Me too, but when comparing a fixed camera that is alongside a Gatso I wonder whether it is nothing more than a traffic counter: it is not as big (you’d assume that they’d need to provide similar proof to that required from the speed camera, yet it is nowhere near as big; not a great problem I’d imagine, since the tech has probably shrunk enough to be able to provide such evidence, but worth thinking about), and it appears to be fixed and without the ability to have physical content (drive, cards or whatever) removed and replaced – might it dispatch info wirelessly without need for hard attachment?
