Another way to screw the fat cat motorists to pay for the asylum seekers and free loaders

I hope the people who VOTED Labour will not be complaining about this???

People who dont vote etc etc cannot complain.

I cannot say im surprised by this

apples24

just dont register the car etc in ya name

fuk em all i say, both the missis and i never do and weve been like that for 4 years, dont get me wrong were allways insured mot'd amnd taxed and dont drive like wank ers

but the system is out to screw you in every way possible

only my recovery truck is registered to me but then with a car on back the fooker couldnt break the speed limit if it wanted too

can't see it happening to be perfectly honest - people would simply not use the roads full stop and the government would be screwed for income - they would loose out bigtime - they are already making loads thru VED and fuel duty - under the proposed plan, their income could be cut by as much as 40% - and to pay for that, VAT and other taxes would rise including income tax and NI - its just scare mongering and political bullshit.

alistar darling wants his fucking eyebrows pulling off and shoving down his japs eye anyway, the fucking wanker

rssapphowner

fucking idiot he needs to get a life just get rid of road tax cos it dont go on repairing roads

Graceland

its all good and well saying that - but'd i'd rather pay a one off 160 quid a year than a quid a mile -would you not?

big_wig_074

but we already pay tax as we go,and the more you drive the more tax you pay! its called fuel tax! why do the government not understand it is already like this and always has been! if i drive 10000 miles i pay much more to the tax coffers than if i drive 3000 miles!

With the left hand they give you Ł160.......

With the right hand they take Ł500......

I spose if you are doind 70 mph on motorway it could cost nearly Ł95 a hour.

Also think about it they will know how fast you are going everywhere, thyink of it as the ultimate GATSO

But think fuel 30p a litre!!!!

righthooker

to be honest i dont thonk its too bad,you seen the price of tax on fuel,for someone doing a lot of miles it could work out cheaper.

how the fuck are we supposed to live in this country?

are they gona put our annual pay up to compensate for this, no i don't think so, fookin cocks, who vote for them?

AlexF

and there was me think thats what the ROAD FUND LICENCE was for

Oh well thats what you get for voting labour!

Alex

Rhys

TBH i dont think its that bad! What pay as you go but no fuel duty or Road tax?


Dont seem to bad, starts reading the facts before jumping on the band wagon people

mark

theres been talk of this for so many years now and its never happed what ya all getting the hump for its not going to stop me using my car at the end of the day

AlexF

ok so say your an average driver... 20k a year maybe...

the MINIMUM you can pay is 2p a mile...


Thats Ł400 a year!

Ok so they say they will scrap fuel tax... but they wont as fuel will become about 70% cheaper! So they will probably cut 10-20p off a litre and claim its going to save you money in the long run...

It might... it might not!

But then again how many goverments have ever cost people LESS ?

For all those saying it'll never happen, think again as it already under trials and is to be introduced on HGV first

And dont expect it to replace fuel duty, it will replace car tax so you'll get double shafted

I'd just unplug the thing or stick the GPS reciever in a crisp packet or something

GOT2BZETEC

LOL i didnt think it would be that bad for you lot who only knock about on quite roads in cossies which sup stupid amounts of fuel! tax free diesel would be 30p or less as thats what we get red for so petrol would be between 20-30

Oranoco

If these systems can measure how far you are traveling they will also be able to measure speed. This stinks to high heaven and I hope this crackpot scheme falls flat on its arse.

Labour are a fucking joke

Less.

Erm who going to pay for the Gps systems to track u

Yep u guessed it
