Repairs come out of our general tax.

Re: Road Tax

I think push bikes should have a road tax and insurance as well. They take up a lot of road space

Re: Road Tax

When they changed the road tax system last year, the tax gathered will go to the transport infrastructure, repairing -upgrading the road network, but not until 2020

Anybody paying £550 for road tax has a car that palouting(sp) are world and should hang their head in shame.
It was found that in towns and cities Diesel vehicles were causing more pollution than petrol engined vehicles. But on motorways and long distance driving it was petrol engines that were more polluting.

Diesel engines pollute with 'Particulates' which are responsible for respiratory diseases.
Petrol engine cars pollute with CO2 supposedly bad for the environment and contributing to 'Global Warming'.....So you have a choice.....Buy a diesel and kill people, or buy a petrol and destroy the environment...

Personally, I believe we are overpopulated so I own a diesel......
