I also think rfl is outrageous especially for those m drivers who pay £400+ for 5k miles.
They really should scrap it and add the duty to fuel... After all petrol is so expensive now whats an extra say 10p per litre going to do!

Whilst i agree with you, that the government are robbing bastards who use the motorist as a cash cow. I dont agree with your chelsea tractor comments, by saying they should pay more you instantly become as bad as them. We are supposed to live in a free society and be able to drive what cars we want!
Its a jealousy tax plain and simple, they dont like to see people having nice things so punish them. Capitalist? I would say they are more communist. Lets get everyone out of their range rovers and onto the buses and pretend its for the environment..

Wonder what they would if everyone did public transport could not handle it and what would they tax us on instead :x i agree with putting it on fuel as i only do around 5k a year use the bus for work.

Mines just in along with the insurance renewal at the same time!Taz x said:
Insurance has increased again but tax luckily stayed the same.
Insurance increased from £85 to £90 because the value went from £12.5K to £15K but tax happily stayed the same at £0

Drove down to Plymouth from Portsmouth last week at 70-80 all the way used just under 19ltrs fuel. Beginning to consider driving this as the main car.
It gets let out of junctions and into traffic without issue as well.

Bet you all wish you had a 2.0 now............ 
I wouldn't mind the road tax as mentioned before if the roads were up to scratch. Around our way they are patching the patches!
And as for the chelsea tractor brigade....we got real ones........and they run on nice pink diesel. (thats agricultural fuel tax).
Customs and excise go around checking all the diesel cars at the county shows.... :roll:

Sorned mine at the end of October, But as soon as my new rims turn up I am putting her back on the road, I am really missing it.. 
Government "Get out your cars and use puplic transport" country would grind to a halt within a couple of hours if we did.
The government also spend millions on anti smoking ads (thats your tax money) if every smoker quit the country would suffer as everyone was made to pay more tax on everything to make up the billions they earn on tobacco duty.
They wont fool all of the people all of the time.
We will continue to be shafted until one honest man stands up and remains uncorrupted and for the people, Dont think we have had one of those in parliement for a long long time.
Soap box removed, Lights a cigarette and enjoys rest of evening :!:

Not even slightly LOL
The price of road tax is horrendous but it depends where you compare us too. Some countries are far cheaper, others ludicrously more expensive....owning a decent car in Singapore is a nightmare, for example. In the US, it's basically free. So we are roughly in the middle really

I sold my RRS just based on this thread!! not really, but running it was very very expensive!!
not really, but running it was very very expensive!!My daily driver is a 2007 transit that costs about £200 tax.
Also in the house there's a 2004 z4 2.2 costing about £250 tax.
In the garage there's a 1985 Porsche 911 3.2 that when it's mot comes round - the tester has to leave the emissions testing machine outside so it's not getting broken!!!! Yet this is the cheapest car I pay tax on.
Pity it's the best part of £125 to fill the tank.
