perhaps not, the people who drive less would end up paying less road tax.

For once, I actually agree with you Slasher (not with the little weird bit at the end of your 1st post...) Road Tax is a Scam... I only do about 5000 miles a year tops, I have done in total 13,000 miles in the 3 years I have had my car, the road tax is rediculous especially since, I only drive to work and back, I see lots of speed cameras every where collecting even more funds... I get to work never have any parking space, have parking ticket folks lurking around as soon as I pull up, I then also pay over a grand a year for my car insurance and thats with 3 years no claims bonus
If you add up fuel, tax & insurance for me for the year...
Tax - £180?
Fuel - £20 per week * 52 Weeks
Insurance - £1000 +
= £2220 Approx per Annum just to get to work...

I cant take public transport as I run several businesses, I usually have to go to suppliers after work every 2 days usually, it would take 3 buses to get to work and I would have to go into town and then back out again to get to the suppliers about 4 buses to the suppliers
Im not really ranting though, I just think its a lot of money for pretty much nothing, there are speed cameras everywhere on my route and yet, I have never seen anyone speeding or any accidents there ever before the cameras... Also the roads have massive bumps, I nearly broke my poor merc driving down a normal road because there was a giant hole in the middle, 9 months on and its still there, everyone has to drive around it...
i have a small family, me wife kid and dog so i dont need a big car. but we will become a bigger family if i end up neededing a larger car for that then i will try and find one that is the cheapest to own.
that aint gonna help people with expensive cars now, but probably my point is if it is too expensive now to own then get a cheaper one.

your saying we should all start riots so we can drive zafiras cheaper? Dont be daft.
the way it is right now, if it is too expensive to drive one car an cheaper to drive another, drive the bloody cheaper car. no point starting a riot.
