£175 for cars registered before March 1st 2001 (above 1.5 litre).  A £5 rise in cost.

£190 for Petrol cars in the Impreza emissions category (Band F - 186 g/km +) (registered before March 23rd 2006) - a £25 rise in cost.  £210 in the new tax band G for cars (226 g/km +) registered after 23rd March 2006.  Diesel cars are £5 more expensive than each of the last two prices.

Hope that helps.

heard on the radio today that a renault espace comes higher in emissions than a jaguar, quite a boost for 2 jags prescott,

The old sti version 1 scrapes through again,  no cat required for its mot, and no huge tax rise, oh i do luv my car.

I bet he has a black mask and gun in that case of his.. robbing bar sturred !!

But I can offer a comforting thought.  At least you wouldn't have to supply a copy of your emmisons test from your MOT for the road tax to be determined....  Imagine those with "No" cats..  or tuned to the moon engines..... []

farking goats !!!!!

This is the place that regardless of opinions, practically ran the show throughout the world in years gone by, had more countries in their power than i could work out, pretty much looked after their citizens, united as one against foreign foe, and generally was populated by great people.

Then-

closed the mines

place speed cameras all over the place to catch decent people who lost concentration for a second or two

opened the gates to the rest of the world

fleece us on council tax, income tax, road tax,

charge us for water that falls from the sky

add tax to drink and fags to line their pockets and the MASSIVE fund they have stashed away for whatever reason

then implement a smoking ban cos it costs them too much NHS cash at the back end

tell you what you can and cant say whilst DIKC FACE HAMZA CAPTAIN HOOK rants in the streets of london encouraging normal people to be disillusioned itno terrorism

give people who appear at glasgow airport a bit scared and foreign a house in sighthill for nothing

watch people who fought for the country sleep in Victoria street, London in a box

and the list goes on

Oh, how much of a contrast between the once serving soldier loyal to the establishment and the now anti-system angry man

This place sucks

Very well said Gumball,especially your points about ex-sevices men and women.I personally don't think there's much "Great" left in Britain,but what do you do??Each politically party seem as bad as each other.[]

At the end of the day, the increase in road tax is less than £1/week. Compared to the overall running costs (fuel, tyres, insurance, depreciation etc), it's an insignificant drop in the ocean so to speak.

I don't think it will put anyone off potentially buying a new Chelsea tractor, through further punitive rises over the next 3 - 4 years may have an impact on 2nd hand prices.

The biggest culprits on the roads are older cars (Ford Cortinas, Orions etc), which churn out huge amounts of black smoke and noxious fumes, run without cats on LRP.

I rememerb reading once that a 2 stroke petrol lawn mower produces something like 200 times the emissions of a modern clean car, and you don't see those being taxed. All those old two stroke mopeds etc with dodgy exhausts are also big culprits. Even though they do 50 - 100 mpg, vast amounts of emissions can be produced.

You are quite right John but I am afraid you are posting in a thread for reactionary rantings where any ill thought out spiel is welcome. The more virulent the better.

However the comparisons between now and the days of the empire is actually quite funny.

IMO this budget has been fairly kind to motorists by past standards. No increase on fuel duty is the one that really counts. The tinkering with the road tax system is just that and doesn't really count for much.

Yes the above statement is 100% correct. You are indeed posting in a thread which is now dominated by misguided judgement and grammer which is used to belittle the thoughts or opinions of the people who feel aggreived by this "little by little/slowly but surely" road to disaster, in which the British Government are leading us down to better themselves.

You Ian, also mentioned that my views on the situation were "ill thought out"???

I would like to make it clear that i fully appreciate how this effects us and the current state of affairs within the UK and resent the comments above that i was in fact posting having adopted the headless chicken approach.

You are correct is some respects that the comments around the empire are less of a case or statement relevant to this thread.

Let me assure you (even though allegedly i have been deemed as simple/ludicrous) that from the minute your Nokia mobile phone wakes you up in the morning, to the first toilet trip of the day, to boiling the kettle, to travelling to work etc etc......you are paying for it and lining the pockets of the government who could potentially take 100billion from us throughout the course of the year without returning it to services, NHS, military or anything else.

We are living in a heavily policed state where essentially the government are a profit making organisation without operating in the usual supply and demand consumer market.

I DONT WANT IT BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT?????

YOU DONT LIKE IT GUMBALL, THEN YOU GO TO JAIL

As you suggested, this is all a bit ad-hoc and there is a mindless rant for nothing. no !! we are being tucked up like a toddler in this country and personally.........i despise it.
