Yesterday's "today, for the first time" was renewing my car tax online. It was remarkably straightforward. All you need is the 16-digit number on your reminder notice.
The implications, though, are not so good. It means that your MoT certificate, if you have one, and your insurance details are on the same computer or at least available to that system. You may already know this, but it was news to me.
So when the Public Service Announcement on television tells you that you can't avoid the black monolith from '2001 A Space Oddity', it's really referring to HAL 9000, and we know what happened to it. This is more than just turning up on a database of overdue payments.

"- open the pod-bay door please Hal" - Hal has got to be one of the most insidious and creepy villains in any film - although I suppose he was created by an even more insidious group of humans. Not a good vision for the future... txxx
