If only each speed camera was also an ANPR camera, the number of illicit vehicles and drivers would soon be reduced.
Or, there'd just be lots of fines sent out in the post to people who would most likely ignore them...
Other penalities are available, on the spot vehicle seizure for example.
By a camera?

Stop duty-free red diesel but allow rebates to farmers etc who legitimately buy fuel for agricultural/off-road use - the amount of fuel they might fiddle into their road vehicles will surely be tiny against the current VED avoidance, especially if a one-strike offence removes them from any future rebates.

do you actually understand how red is purchased in the main ?
Yes thanks. Do you know how hauliers fill up?

so why increase the admin burden of legitimate red users by makingthem use white and claim it back ... the only thing that really works for is buses where some service use is rebatable and private hires / contracts and other service work isn't...

do i know how hauliers fill up ?

would that be the ones using fuel cards mainly ?
the ones who have sufficient number and density of depots and volumes to be able to bunker their own fuel and have their own secure fuelling points ?
