Wrong!!

The discs are no more, but the tax (Road Fund Licence) remains, enforced now 
not by eyeballing the expiry date on the disc, but by Automatic Number Plate 
Recognition software on the speed cameras installed everywhere for road safety. 
As well as in patrol cars, all interfaced with the national database of 
registered, taxed and insured vehicles (or rather, the converse - a recognised 
vehicle which is not on that database is automatically flagged to be pulled 
over).

1984 is so, so twentieth century...
