Same kind of deal in the UK. Instead of the US practice of buying an annual sticker to put on the license plate, we buy an annual circle of paper that goes inside the windshield, called a Tax Disk. I don't know if there's an official term for it. Also, I've noticed around here (North Carolina, USA) the practice of putting the annual Safety Inspection sticker in the windshield, whereas in the UK, you simply get a piece of paper that you're expected to keep somewhere safe. --- Pb
