Hopefully it's enough to get some WSS off the road.

But it will affect low earners too.  Not funny for those who live in rural areas and have a thirty mile round trip twice a day on the school run.

Do you actually think the WSS actually pay any road taxes,3T?...or insurance or get MOTs?

[douglas9401]

Hopefully it'll encompass the FGBs too.

No one ever took me to school. Get them a push bike.

All the articles I have read refer to those buying new vehicles. Not a peep about how it will affect those of us already in possession of a car.

09:33 Well no doubt some avoid it but they get prosecuted when caught.

[naomi24]

That really is an ignorant thing to say, TTT.  

[ToraToraTora]

09:34 The hike is most for new vehicles but that filters down as after the first year it's half of the first year.

[ToraToraTora]

"That really is an ignorant thing to say, TTT.  " - why? No one ever took me to school that's a fact. Nor did anyones parents in those days. In fact to get dropped off by your mum would result in ridicule.

[jackthehat]

I don't think many of your WSS will be buying a brand new vehicle this year.

[ToraToraTora]

no but they'll be paying more for their older 4x4s. It's going up across the board me old china, we'll all pay more.

Mine is going up £10 a year. I'll keep chugging on

[naomi24]

TTT,  your superpowers appear to have deserted you.

[ToraToraTora]

No you ably demonstrate they are working well.

[barry1010]

It might encourage more recipients of PIP and DLA to use their mobility component to get a £50k Merc on Motability instead of spending it on fags, booze and bookies - no worries about VED hikes for them.

 

[naomi24]

Don't kid yourself, TTT.  Just try to think it through.  Just try.

[jackthehat]

It's not going to be much of a 'win' for those working and trying to live on the minimum wage, though.

[ToraToraTora]

09:47 sycophancy doesn't suit you naomi, it gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

[naomi24]

TTT, best you check big words before you use them. 

[ToraToraTora]

look up irony love!
