road tax
just noticed my road tax has increased this year by approx £10 per year. i pay direct debit monthly and wondered if this increase was announced or a statutory increase annualy applied . that puts me up to £346.50 yearly on 2002 kv6 auto rover 75. i wonder how much post 2005 kv6 auto models now pay ? wonderful considering im on LPG and these rates reflect my emmisions apparently. ...

perhaps a tax on cyclists might ease the burden a little. they have enough money spent on cycle lanes everywhere. they may not pollute but this is, as always, a money earner. looking at things globally the uk is responsible only for 1% of worldwide emmisions. china/ india / usa knocking up 75% globally. other countries dont give a damn either . best look around for a moped simon, you might get away with that for a while ... seems we will all be milked dry eventually....

£210 for my 55 plate ZT diesel, up a fiver from last year.
Not entirely sure that's feasible or fair. Many cyclists, like myself, are car owners and are shelling out the fuel tax and VED anyway. Cycle lanes round by me are in an awful state and the roads not much better. The government did look into it but felt is wasn't workable due to the overheads trying to enforce it and it would put people off cycling to keep fit, reduce congestion and reduce emissions.

You need to be very careful with such statistics. Per head of population, the UK and US emissions are far higher. Also, a large proportion of the emissions by countries such as China and India result from them producing for the UK, US etc. populations to consume.
