Here's one payer that views every single syllable emanating from those corridors, whatever colour they might be, with hefty suspicion. Blaggards.

nothing stopping you of instead of complaining is to become an mp and have your say!

My Lexus VED was in 2021 £250 pa, 2022 - £265 and July this year it is £290.
Therefore 21/22 increase was 6.0% and 22/23 increae was 9.4%
If you are paying 3x your normal icrease you must be subsidising me. Thank you.

[COLOR="Blue"]As Wraymond[ states, we, motorists, keep taking it in the neck for revenue, both in fuel price and any costs to run your vehicle (tax), and do nothing about it. If the tax for vehicles was equated properly, the government would be paying us to use the crumbling road system. Birmingham Council should be ashamed of the state of the roads in its area. Some roads are like slaloming down an icy slope in the alps. If tax was based on those roads, they would be paying out for us to use them. Sixth richest country in the world? Load of bull. More like 60th. We are being robbed in a big way./COLOR]

My ZT is the same, its a 54 plate so 20 years old next year. Just wondered if at that point it will be categorised as a classic car and the road tax will decrease? Can live in hope.
