Had an idea - since we now have the technology, how about speed cameras now send tickets out for not having tax, MOTs or insurance? With a 14 day right to appeal to allow for computer system lags on new purchases/change of owner records.

This is why we campaign for more/improved cycle infrastructure.
New cycle lanes are not for people who currently cycle.
They are for people who drive because it’s too dangerous to cycle.

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.

They did that “person collided with car and died” thing, but in the ocean.

No, the whale didn’t collide with a boat. A person driving a boat hit a whale and killed it.
