Bob Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 There would have to be a massive improvement with public tarnsport before they can stop people using tehre cars - buses are rare, smelly, unpleasant, and take too long, and trains are similar but massively over-priced for anyone who wants to use one at a normal time - ie commuting time!

Rayman Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 No way I would pay that. Joke. All that does is mean that rich people can do waht they want, as usual. Ditto absolutely correct, the worlds going mad, get rid of labour i say!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 They wouldn't possibly actually introduce something like this. Any government that upsets motorists on a large scale would know that it's days are numbered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think they come out with this crap to get people worked up then say instead of this we are going to leave road tax at its current price but put petrol up to £1.30 a litre to help get away with making petrol more expensive.

BASHTHEBISHOP Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 grrrr and MPs will still have 4 Jags, 2 private planes that they can use for holidays and invest in space travel. This government has to be on its way down. Everything they address they fvck it up. Immigration, hospitals, schools, pensions, roads, housing etc etc Get the Yanks to not use engines over 4L and that should half pollution. Rant over:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 ... I mean - you could own a Supra and drive it 1,000 miles a year and only burn 200L of petrol, and have to pay £1,800 tax, whereas you could own a poxy Prius and actually cause more ecological harm by doing more mileage!!! Exactly, I do around 4000 miles a year in my Supe, my neighbour with a 1.3 fiesta does around 16,000 miles....who is going to pollute more in a given year. ... Surely the proper way to handle this is to increase PETROL tax, not ROAD tax - you should be taxed for DRIVING your car, not just for OWNING it - but then everybody complains about petrol tax increases too, I guess!!! I think we should abolish ROAD TAX and add it to fuel, that way EVERYONE on the road pays (that'll piss off road tax dodgers). At the end of the day, you cant blame them for complaining... With petrol being £1 per litre... That is ridiculous! Its what, 40 odd % tax???!?!?! http://www.lesstaxonfuel.co.uk/images/SportcarDW.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jase_93tt Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Im up for abolishing road tax and sticking something on petrol instead. I do 5000 miles a year, why should I pay the same amount of road tax as someone who uses the road more and also creates more pollution?

Guest Mikethevice Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think we should abolish ROAD TAX and add it to fuel, that way EVERYONE on the road pays (that'll piss off road tax dodgers). Even if they did that they would find some new tax that we have to pay, the goverment havent a fooking clue what they are doing when it comes to anything, as its been said b4 in this post, look at the hospitals, schools, are roads, dnt even get me started on what they do with illegial immigrants (SP). THEY COULDNT EVEN TEACH ME TO SPELL FFS!!!! GRRR ! :flame: :flame: :devil: :diablo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
