it's not car tax, it's something else
whereas with car tax youthought it was being used to fix the road like it was supposed to as it was based on the size of the vehicle, the new stuff is based on the emissions produced
so you can drive your gas guzzling, carbon beltching motor all over the place and destroy the planet (so the ecomentalists would have oyu believe) or you can do 5 miles a week in your eco free from road tax car
road tax should be based on the mileage done between mot's to make it fair, then at least you are paying for what you are driving and emitting
