Not all of them will be doing it regularly but some of them are running a business, without the correct registration or insurances.

I think its fair enough.
So they have conditioned you to think the way they want you to then. So what if a guy wants to make money with his investment (classic car)? That's what they call crony capitalism, picking winners and losers. There's people with lots of money who can afford all the expensive fees. The government is driving out competition (doing favors for the established businesses) and making it hard for the little guy. If they want registration, then fine... Even requiring insurance. Registration fees should only cover the administrative costs. What's next? You can't take passengers if they are not related to you so they can keep the taxi industry thriving?
