    I think the government all need shooting, to be fair, we already give them, insurance, road tax, council tax and so on, never mind the constant bills around the place. Fuel prices rising, so are parking prices and soon we are to be charged per mile that we do on top of all these bills, it's crazy! Britain must be the most taxed country in the world!! And we put up with it, because we have no option, we don't pay tax, we get put in prison, and who pays for criminals in prison, and doll-dossers?? Us, all the time, taxed for a rubbish, recycling if you don't recycle, littering all pointless stuff, not mentioning money grabbing speed cameras everywhere you go!

    It's criminal that we taxed and billed on everything we do.

    Please sign if you want to get rid of road tax.



    Also has anyone seen fifth gear where they ran an onl Mercedes with 200,000 miles on chip fat. You have to pay tax per each litre you use but how do the government know how much goes in     Shocked Shocked



    Be very careful as if you use use just chip shop fat with out mixing it correctly IT WILL be the end of you engine, as it should be mixed with various chemicals, and this why you have to inform the tax office, failure to do so could mean that if VOSA and/or Customs and excise stop you and check your fuel they could estimate the amount of litres and how long you have been using it and give you 21 days to pay the duty or face a Court summons plus interest on what you owe, send you to jail, or even worse seize you assets???



    BE VERY CAREFUL!!!! Embarassed Embarassed Shocked

    Better not do that then Shocked



    I think the government will end up saying 'we are only going to tax you on motorways and in cities' then we can all sigh and say thank God for that but the still know what speed were going. I don't think there will ever be restrictions on cars to stop you going over the limit because its kind of shooting yourself in the foot
