Exactly, nobody's car would be safe, insurance premiums would sky rocket and the sale of new fuel tanks would go up lol

we'd end up worse off.

well what about the new proposal that will make EVERY lorry in the UK pay a daily toll of £9 for using the roads. The idea apparently is that UK trucks will get relief (so thats Eddie fecked then HOHOHO) so that only foreign drivers end up paying. About bloody time.

it is an odd situation, we already pay massive tax on fuel, and the road tax isn't spent on the roads.

Is it true that we pay vat on the fuel duty? if so we are even taxed on the tax! weird 'Value added tax' what value is there in paying fuel tax? so how can we them be taxed on it's value - it makes your head spin!

So, nice as it sounds, scrapping road tax, i don't think we ought to add anything to fuel costs as we pay enough bloody tax -and the more you use the more you pay already without adding any more
