Vehicles (Excise) Act 1971 (Repealed 1.9.1994)
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

11 Provisions supplementary to s. 10.
(1) For the purposes of section 10 of this Act a vehicle in respect of which a vehicle licence has been issued and sums are payable by virtue of that section for any period shall, except so far as it is shown to have been a mechanically propelled vehicle of some other description during that period, be deemed to have belonged throughout that period to the description to which it belonged on the date when the last such licence was issued in respect of it. (2) When a vehicle in respect of which a notice has been given in pursuance of subsection (2)(c) of section 10 of this Act becomes a mechanically propelled vehicle, its keeper for the time being shall forthwith give to the Secretary of State a further notice revoking the first-mentioned notice; and where a person required to give such a further notice does not do so, then— (a) if he knowingly fails to give it he shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level three on the standard scale; and (b) in a case where he became the keeper of the vehicle after the first-mentioned notice was given it shall be deemed to have been revoked on the date when he became the keeper of the vehicle, and in any other case the first-mentioned notice shall be deemed not to have been given. (3) The Secretary of State may by regulations make such provision as he considers appropriate for the purposes of section 10(2)(b) or (c) of this Act or subsection (2) above including, without prejudice to the generality of the power conferred by this subsection, provision— (a) as to the form of and particulars to be included in a notice under those provisions, the manner of giving such a notice and the time at which it is to be treated as being given; (b) for securing that notice under the said paragraph (b) is not given in respect of a period of less than thirty days or more than twelve months; (c) as to the mode of calculating the period in respect of which notice under the said paragraph (b) is to be treated as given; (d) with respect to the mode of proving the giving of notice; (e) for deeming notice to have been given in relation to a vehicle in respect of any period or at any time if in the circumstances of any particular case the Secretary of State considers it reasonable to do so.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
