I don't agree People should pay more for roads they hardly or never drive on for personal use in the form of income tax.
The more you use it the more you pay... That current system seems fair enough to me but for sure I'd rather it was cheaper .
It costs me more than most in fuel duty and road tax but that's the choice I made when buying a gas guzzling car!
Doesn't matter what way they dress the excess. But motorists Do already pay the more they use because they use more fuel, more electric more whatever..
But there should not be an excess burden placed on motorists as there is at present, even more so when for many of us it is a hobby.
Name any other hobby that is taxed as much ?
Hell...even if we have race cars that never see the road...that same taxation is levied on us via fuel costs.
WE, motorists already do pay far more for roads we never drive...and we pay for many other things nothing to do with roads. The current system is a farce, and now that people might be moving away from fossil fuels....it is being highlighted.
