welcome to my world
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing

I would recommend moving to Cornwall. But as I enjoy the quite roads around here to myself, I will suggest Scotland instead.

I'm pretty sure I only paid £305 last year.I know it's only £10 extra but at the moment it's working out at £100 tax per thousand miles.It wouldn't be so bad if the roads weren't riddled with craters.mr.tourette wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 11:34 am has it gone up then? not really sure what the 12 month rate is as i generally buy 6 then pay monthly until it gets sorned.
I think 20p on a litre of fuel and do away with vehicle tax would be a fairer way .

When the MR is on the road generally speaking ( if no trips planned ) then i spend more per month on VED than fuel
Factor in my daily + our family car + weekender my current yearly expenditure on VED is over £1k

Good job VED isn't a tax to fix potholes
Never understood why people call it road tax. It's a duty based on emissions.

What annoys me is the fact you can have vehicles paying pennies on VED, despite doing massive business mileage.
Always thought it would be best putting it on fuel and doing away with VED.

Even before 1990 the money didn't really get spent on the roads and as we all know it's really gone to sh!t in the last decade.mr.tourette wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 6:29 pmProbably because thats what it was and what it was for from 1888 to 1990 when the government decided to change the system
Lets hope that the Government sticks to the 2015 budget pledge that from 2020 the revenue would be ring-fenced for expenditure on the strategic road network. Again lets hope that's expanded so that some of it filters down to councils for local roads too. Then it would be a true road tax again.....kinda!

It’s terribly congested with traffic & potholes in Somerset as well, definitely not worth moving down here, oh no
