Vehicle tax changes

[Martin306]

Has anyone worked out how much the goverment charges us for each mile we drive? (Average). Its quite scarey

Like, worked out from the fuel duty?

Considering the duty costs more than the fuel itself. diesel is only about 65p a litre, the rest is all tax. They make a shit tonne from it. Which is why they should simply scrap VED. OR change it so that road tax directly funds local councils to actually repair, maintain and ensure roads are safe and signed correctly. It would be a bigger budget for them and the roads would be mint.

Also, it would help if we adopted the same road work ethic as Japan. Look into it, it's an excellent system.
