Exactly! :thumbsup:

They do put a percentage on fuel AND still charge road tax.

They get you both ways

To drive a car on the road you pay a set amount. In return you get a licence plate that is personal to you to show you are licenced.

Own as many cars as you like all with the same licence plate. You can only drive one at a time.
That sounds way too much like a fair & common sense approach :oops: next you will suggest everybody is responsible for their own pensions & council tax is based on adults living in the property & not value :P
Did some one put the words Fair, Common Sense and Council, in the same sentence. :lol: :rofl: :rofl: :thumbsup:
