An annual sticky situation

Every year I curse the person who came up with the idea of using the super-sticky road tax. I heard that the rationale behind it was so that the road tax couldn't be stolen, because it would get torn if you tried to remove it. But because it also left awfully sticky residue (and bits and pieces that couldn't be torn off) on the windscreen, we resourceful people decided to stick it onto another piece of plastic first, then only stick it onto our windscreen. And that completely voids the purpose of the super-sticky road tax in the first place.

Can't those in power see the insanity and switch to normal stickers?
