This sort of thinking also prevents some kinds of scams. For instance there are web sites that masquerade as British government sites for paying road tax/vehicle tax and charge fees that the official site does not. Similar sites scam people out of money for making ESTA visa applications to visit the US

In Norway this road fund fee is collected automatically by the insurance company. This is obviously easier for the user (zero paperwork), less work for the state, and prevents scam artists from duping people.

And back on the subject of registering a company: in Norway this is done online and takes minutes.
