I pay the road tax

[adscrim]

No need to continue in an older thread as the point should be clear. Use of the roads is available to all and should be of equal right. There is no tax on that use. In some circumstances people pay tax on the conditions of their private use but this is not an entitlement for them to claim more right of use.

I've always thought it better to have a T-shirt that reads "I DON'T pay Road Tax"

My car is in quite a high band, therefore I will when I use it overtake owners of lower banded cars and point out my massive contribution.

Is it worth us clubbing together and buying a 30 second slot on prime time ITV to explain the situation to the mouth breathing, bobble hat wearing, Daily mail reading tossers who spout it.

They are like the "Outraged from Tumbridge Wells" nobheads who complain to Points of View about what "Their" licence fee is being spent on, yawn.....

I would say it was more the Sun reader mentality. Daily Mail readers are more interested in the waves & waves of immigrants that are entering the country and are eating up the local supply of Swans and Carp.

Daily mail reading tossers who spout it.

That might have a better impact if it was a bumper sticker on a car!

There was that chap who wrecked the Etape Caledonia. He presumably paid for road tacks

I was saddened to see this pun pass without comment, so may I say, here and now, to you sir.

Maybe we need a shirt printing with

"These car owners do NOT pay road tax :

Seat Ibiza Ecomotive
Toyota iQ
Smart Fortwo CDi
Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion
Ford Fiesta ECOnetic

Please feel free to abuse them as you see fit."

It isn't just "green" cars that don't pay road tax. I can't remember what the car* is, but my friend's mum's car is £0 per year. It is just a very small car, rather than an attempt at being a green car.


*(some boring, souless, bland thing).

No-one is forced to pay "road tax".

Also, anything registered before 1974 (I think) is exempt.

Called VED but it's still called a Road Tax disc, They are half right I mean you pay £ for a Road Tax disc.

 

[atbman]

You are all in error. All cyclists pay the same RT/VED as all other Zero Emission Vehicles.

 

[HJ]

Oh come on do you really go to the post office and ask for a vehicle Excise Duty Disk please (if you have a car)

Road tax and tax disk are handy terms for VED.

Lets just call it "Stupidity Tax" and have done with it...
