Download or read book Evasion of vehicle excise duty written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-01-22 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evasion of vehicle excise duty (VED) rose to 5 per cent (£214 million) in 2006, up from 3.6 per cent in 2005. Amongst motorcyclists, the evasion rate increased to 38 per cent from 30 per cent the previous year. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), overseen by the Department for Transport, is tasked with tackling evasion. The Agency had accepted that it would not achieve its targets of reducing evasion to 2.5 per cent by December 2007, and saving £70 million a year by the end of 2007-08. Not licensing a vehicle and registering the keeper increasingly reflect the intention to avoid congestion charges and prevent identification of criminals, as well as the actual evasion of VED. Problems are also caused by false and foreign number plates. The report notes DVLA's lack of resources to undertake on-the-road enforcement. It questions the effectiveness of the DVLA's current enforcement approach, and whether the DVLA understands the patterns and motivations for evasion well enough to design fully effective counter-measures. Working with partner organisations such as the police and local authorities is the best way to tackle persistent offenders. In the medium term the DVLA may need to move to increasingly advanced technological solutions, such as the insertion of electronic chips into number plates.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although road accident deaths have halved between 1958 and 2007 whilst the number of licensed motor vehicles and vehicle mileage covered increased by 400 per cent, the current rate of 3,000 deaths and 250,000 injuries is still an unacceptably high level. Road accidents are the largest single cause of death for people between the ages of 5 and 35 in Britain, and road accidents cost our economy some £18 billion each year. The number of deaths and injuries on roads far outweighs the deaths and injuries in other transport modes, and should be viewed as a major public health problem. The Government should establish a British Road Safety Survey to track overall casualty and safety trends, and review current methods for recording road-traffic injuries. The Committee recommends a systems approach to road safety: ensuring the vehicle, the road infrastructure, regulations and driver training are designed to similar safety and performance standards. Other recommendations include: more 20 mph speed limits; a more proactive approach to determining the safety benefits of new vehicle technologies; action on young drivers - who represent a disproportionate risk to road users - and vulnerable users: motorcyclists, elderly and child pedestrians and cyclists, horse riders; a higher priority given to enforcement of drink-drive and drug-drive offences. The Committee recommends the establishment of an independent Road Safety Commission with powers to work across the whole of government, ensuring that a high priority and adequate resources are given to road safety and that all government departments and agencies give active support. The Government should also establish a road accident investigation branch, like those in aviation, rail and marine.
