My car, a valver, gets off quite lightly. My workmates are being SLAUGHTERED in their cars. Where does all the ****ing money go? Certainly not our roads! And public transport from my experience SUCKS ASS. I pay about £60 to go to London peak hours every time I have to go, I dont even get a seat. Coming to work from my grannies when I visit her I sometimes wait 2 hours for a bus to turn up as they are aways late.

They go on about pollution, but they were warned about global warning for donkeys years and we are STILL forced to use fossil fuel based cars. Its a total joke. And their answer? Tax the shit out of us, raise petrol prices to a ridiculous amount, hand out more and more dodgy speeding/parking/congestion charges and pretend everything is ok.

And where are the decent people to vote for? Not here for sure!

they should tax fatty foods instead of fuel, then there would be no fat bastards and we'll have our fuel and road tax at a reasonable rate :D

our road tax should be fixed at going up by £5/year (for 12 months)

funny to think that they tax it on engines/emissions and it means my 172 lump means i *could* be paying higher taxes...

long live the K plate :D
