We also need to go back to the old system of road tax where it was a flat fee per car rather than it being waved or cheaper for some cars and more expensive for others based on how much CO2 they emit / mile.

Someone may have say, A Range Rover and do 2000 miles a year and pay £400+ road tax compared to someone who has a car that is not liable or has low cost road tax and does 12K miles a year. Who produces more CO2?

Under what other system are we taxed on potential. Using the model of road tax, the government could come along to me and say

'You could earn £300K a year, we want £120K tax from you this year'.

Yeah, makes sense.

Good point BDG

Also CO2 rating is another abstract that hides behind the idea ofe being tree huggingly green.

If the Government wanted a fair taxation system for vehicles, they'd just pile the whole tax on fuel. The more fuel you use, the more excise you pay. Under that model the Rangerover that only does a few thousand miles per year would consunme less fuel and pay less tax than a high milege, higher total fuel consuming small car. But this will never happen as it allows the Sheeple control and choice....and that would never do!

The fact is anything they do is just to generate the most money they can
Failure is NOT an option

Well yes the socialists like to have as much of your tax money lavished on them as possible.
