My Road Tax Idea!!

Hi fellow Supera owners!

 

I don't normally buy into this petition malarky but I feel strongly enough about this one that I've started one of my own on the No.10 website. :)

 

Basically I, like some of you folks, own 2 vehicles. I have a scooter for travelling to work and I like to keep the Supra for weekends or that special night out. Helps keep the milage down and hey, good for the environment! :D

 

What grates on me is the fact that I need to buy road tax for both the car (which sits in the driveway on weekdays) and the bike too!. I might get rid of the bike and buy a little mini for the winter commuting, I don't want to have to tax that too! :protest:

 

Why can't I have one set of tax to cover both vehicles I own and I could switch it to the vehicle being used on the public road at that time?.

 

I know not everyone will agree with this and that is fine.

 

For those who agree - I'd be grateful if you guys would help me get the personal road tax petition going - and of course pass it on to your buddies!

sounds like a good idea but not realy thought out mate, what if both vehicles were on the road at the same time?

that would mean one is not taxed and illegal.

 

Yep, I take your point - but I'm thinking more about someone like me who has a car and a bike, I won't use them both at the same time.

 

The wife has her own car too, and you're right, she would have to tax her car as she would be using it at the same time as I'm using my car\bike.

 

Jake - don't know, but was hoping to contact a couple of the car mags and at least publicise the idea perhaps.

 

Be my Supra Owners Club buds and sign up anyway so I can get more sigs on it? :thumbs:

Top idea. I have exactly the same issue (I own an old 323 and the Supe, and only drive one at any one time, due to only having one body!). Having to pay two road taxes is ridiculous when you think about it - especially given I only do about 10000 miles combined which is very little these days. Petition signed!
