With some car taxes set to double within a year, do you think the Chancellor's 2007 Budget is fair to car drivers?
Sorry it's a bit long.
Ok it’s about time to put a stop to all this crap on car tax and the environment, why is it nobody is thinking about the little old lady down the road, who only gets into her car once a week, drives to the shop does a little shopping for the week then never goes out again in her car, only covering about 2000 miles a year if that.
Move the taxation to mileage, this way the move you drive, the move natural resources you use, the more damage you do to the roads and the environment. Someone in a so called gas guzzler doing 2000 miles a year is not going to do anywhere near the same damage, as a 50,000 mile or a 100,000 mile a year driver in a none gas guzzler how ever you look at it, on our natural resources or environment.
So it goes to show all this is just a way of reaping back some of the tax loss on smoking bans, where people have given up smoking all together, pubs closing and all the other things that this government has lost through bad management, if you really want to clean up your act and look good in the eyes of other countries with our co2 emissions, you really need to think your stature.
Makes me sick to think that these people are doing a job for us that seems to be well outside their grasp and comprehension, of how to make a real impact on the state of your country.
To drive is a privalege not a god given right. As for tax, down size on the car you drive. IF you can. As for Brown, I dont doubt there are lots of angry people and I dont think Brown is totally right in what he's doing. But if you vote for the other bunch then you can expect a lot worse than your being delt now. We had God knows how many years of Tory rule in the 80's and into the 90's. People didn't just lose their cars, they lost their houses. Think back all those of you who can and maybe you come to the conclusion I have, better the devil you know than the devil you dont.
I agree with what everyone says on here, If they keep putting up the tax only the rich and famous get to drive....there huge chelsea tractors at that. Yet on the other hand, if you can afford to go out drinking on a friday and saturday night you can afford your car tax. i feel the crunch now paying over £250 on my yearly tax, and i have a family car!!!!!!!! Anyways lets do something about it and not vote for Mr Brown. I'm sure there is enough drivers out there to vote against
Sorry folks but only the rich privileged can afford to drive under labour and brown nose, you paupers will have to walk, the rich want the roads to be just for them no more traffic jams.
Who ever is in power they put up car duty it is not just Gorden Brown.
I just wish that the money taken off drivers was spent on the roads like it was supposed to be in the 50's/60's.
It seems to go anywhere but.
I also wish that public transport was more accessible and ran more often then my husband would not come home at night continually moaning about the one that never came.
