moral obligation
boss:
as red is untaxed you can not be on the road with it atall!
Rich_P:
Red diesel is taxed, but at a lower rate.
Gordo:
HM Revenue & Customs has a fraud hotline that you can phone: 0800 595 000.
Or you can do it online.
HTH :)

A difficult question - one that seems to be very much based on personal perspective. A moral obligation and sour grapes can so easily be mistaken.
The thing is - if you wish to uphold moral obligations then you should react this way to ALL forms of illegal activity regardless of triviality. Turning a blind eye for example to a mate's tyres extending past the wheelarches is illegal and poses a danger whilst avoiding the duty is also illegal. As is downloading a workshop manual from a website or posting certain pictures. It is nigh on impossible to navigate the myriads regulations we are faced with - hence why they change so often!
Depends who you want to be. Personally I don't think it's possible to live your life whilst maintaining such a whiter than white approach (deities excepted) and will stick to maintaining my morals at the big stuff - car theft, drunk drivers, assaults, child abuse and leave the misdemeanours to those that be.
Not judging. Just my 2 cents.

+1. Well said.
I would never run on red. If other people want to run the risks then so be it.
