Watch how many cars we see with "Tax in post" on the screen now

Make no mistake, there's nothing green about this.

This is a pure cost issue ... They will have queried the DVLA database and made absolutely sure that the revenue from this new tariff far exceeds the current one.

I'd love the people of this country to call their bluff and buy low emission cars in bands A thru F ... Watch the treasury U-Turn when they find they don't have a pot to pi** in

You mean if I spend £250,000 on a flash car, I have to pay £520 year road tax? that'll make all the difference... I spend more than that on the monogrammed cigar-holder.

My car isn't in that list. Am I exempt ?

 

[megawatt]

No, it means it will be towed away and crushed ... You need to contact your local MP.

might help if i knew what band any of my cars were in.

Band A's are in the "rubber band" category I think

If the Czech Chariot's emissions are anything to go by (140g.km), then I'm in Band E (£110).

This government is creating a class society again, everyone who uses our roads should pay road tax, (cycles included)
Just because someone drives a large car, does not make them wealthy, we are already paying for the priveledge by the tax paid on the fuel to run the vehicle, without being taxed even more.
But the motorist is a captive consumer and has little or no chance of staging an effective protest, other than voting this corrupt government out of power at the earliest oppertunity.
