"road Tax"

[dave1]

Well no problem with MOT last week so OK now until mid May 2012. Went to Post Office yesterday to tax the car with renewal slip quoting £245.00 only to be charged £260.00. .......an increase of 6.12%/6.13%. So pensions etc go up roughly in line with inflation (whichever figure the govt. decide to use) but the RFL goes up by a higher rate. What on earth would happen to this countries economy, such as it is, without the motorist to use as a Friesian.

Welcome to rip off Britain!

Recent insurance hike for women as it was claimed to be sexist to not charge the same rate men pay...but I thought insurance was based on your risk factor, good risk or bad risk not on your s*x!

Another sly stealth tax.....why did no motoring organisation dispute this?

Note 'road tax' is now car tax, as hardly any of it is spent on the roads!
