If the idea is to tax us so heavily it forces us into cheap, small engined 'green' cars, surely that'll cost us a shed load more than the tax itself?
Let's say I can't afford to run my big, dirty, horrible planet destroying filth machine any more and need to sell it due to the ever increasing tax, and the tax on tax, which is then taxed.
Who else could afford to run it? Who would want to buy it? I can't afford to run it any more, but I NEED a car... I'd have no choice but to sell it for peanuts, which is gonna be another kick in the wallet on top of the taxes.
Anyway... speaking of TAX, has anyone else heard the one about colour coded tax discs? It's supposed to make it easier for councils to spot "high polluters" in inner city areas so they can charge more for parking etc!!
