Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

Thanks to the EU and the Lisbon treaty that wasn't a treaty so we didn't need a referendum even though we were promised one they could be getting even higher.

IIRC there already is a carbon tax in place, that even applies to nuclear power, and that doesn't really release CO2.

Time, and past time to tell the EU to Foxtrot Oscar me thinks.... :dozey:

Re: Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

It will come as a huge shock to no one, that fuel prices are set to get higher!

Whereas you can appreciate the situation between the Chinese and Americans, squabbling over dwindling resources, it is a bit harder to swallow the blatant profiteering from our own government, and EU.
Okay, we might not save any land or species from the.... *cough*... 'ravages of global-warming', but we can, most definitely, make a schittload of cash from these sukkaz!!

They really need to start thinking along the lines of generating funds through industry, like we did in the good old days.
There's only so much money they can milk from motorists/bill-payers, although obviously they haven't pushed us quite to the limit yet!

I'm going out for a drive, to calm myself down. :mad:

Great because we in the Uk already get such a damn bargain on this as it is where our government has been taxing us till we bleed for the enviroment for quite a few years now the EU wants it's piece of the pie still trying to balance the books are they :rolleyes:. Way it is going there soon will be no reason to work because you'll be poorer working then doing nothing it's ridiculous and to think one of the main selling points of the EU was that as a block we would be in a better position to negotiate what a joke which is pretty much what the EU is.

Thanks Labour for yet another f up

It's absolutely ridiculous. No wonder there are more and more drivers out there who aren't insuring their vehicles. The fine, if they get caught, is minuscule compared to what they would actually pay for insurance.

I had to sell my car last year, the amount of money I've saved since getting rid of it has been a huge bonus.

Re: Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

£200 + 6 penalty points. Not exactly small change.

Plus if they get caught the car will probably be towed at a cost of about £120 + £20 a day storage.

Re: Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

Still, that's going to be peanuts compared to what they would have to pay for insurance.

Re: Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

Agreed

Can I press the button, I lost my job to a Belgian.

Re: Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

I'm £140 a year for me and 2 other named drivers. :confused:

Fair enough it's a small car and I've got a whole bunch of things going in my favour for getting it cheaper but still well under the fine for no insurance and less chance of losing my license.

Re: Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

your hired :tu::D

Re: Think petrol tax is high right now?
 

That's understandable, because it won't be drivers in a similar situation to you that will be driving without insurance, they'll have too much to lose.

You're not suggesting we've been misled are you?... ;)
