What a great thread!
It is about time we started taking this seriously, i mean the govt. What a bunch of to$$ers. If the green issues are true then surely the govt should be giving people REAL incentives to go green instead of sucking them dry through taxes.
It makes my blood boil when i see govt wasting money on things which are not important.
I mean surely if it was such a big deal then there should be more than 3% taxes being spent.
I don't believe anything the govt says, there are alot of other issues causing pollution than only cars. We are an easy target, fines, cameras, ins, taxes etc.
The govt also know's we need our cars and we will keep paying. We are not STRONG as a nation like the french to stand up.
What do u think would happen if we all stopped driving fullstop?
The govt would be screwing not happy. They would be worried more about the money than the climate and would probably tax u for farting and start measuring the potency and put that into tax bands.
