The number of drivers dodging the annual payment has soared from 210,000 in 2013 – when the paper disc was still in place - to 560,000 now, according to Department for Transport statistics.

This year, 1.4 per cent of vehicles are unlicensed compared to 0.6 per cent in 2013 – the highest level for eight years.
