Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's why mine's SORNed and sees action only on track days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petemac Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I know just how you feel and it hurts even more to know there are cars out there that do not pay any road tax at all. It may encourage people to buy greener cars, and I am all for helping our very fragile planet from pollution, but a car is a car and they all cause some damage to our roads and motorways, why should we not all be on the same playing field. Roads still have to be maintained and built, or take lessons from other countries and add it to fuel, that way everyone pays. Just a thought.

M444TTB Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 One of the reasons I'd quite happily lump it all onto fuel. So long as the government didn't use it as an excuse to increase the total revenue raised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 or £19 a month - sounds much cheaper that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 So long as the government didn't use it as an excuse to increase the total revenue raised. And of course that's exactly what they would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickmaster Andy Lowe Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 They were going on about fuel duty the other day and said if only 2p of the duty went on repair it would raise 4 billion pounds in a year So when they are getting about 80p what the hell are they doing with all our money I don't see that many schools and hospitals I feel better now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peet Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Glad I'm not the only Grumpy one! I actually look forwards to the direct debit of £19 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkymart Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think peets got a good point mine is only insured for 5000 miles a year and in paying the same for the westy as I'm paying for my 110 defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander72 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I think its good value - 7,000 miles in my car last year (westfield) and 15,000 in the BMW since february - i know which i prefer paying for…. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham0127 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I can't really complain as lots of my motorbikes are pre 1975 and tax is free & even better, the pre '60 ones don't even need an MOT. Insurance is also dirt cheap..... We're a spineless ....pc terrified lot that won't stand up and be counted.......so let's keep paying and stop whining..that's what my wife says......anyway. Is she right ?...... Where's Norman....? She's Irish and thinks English blokes are wimps.....guess that includes me......?oh dear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain m Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I could not believe a report on the National News last week where it was suggested taking £xxx Million from the tax on motorists to fix all the potholes, we should be spending ALL the money from tax on motorist on the road!!!!
