road tax???

Just checked my road tax renwel price and once again its gone up its now 280 for 12months (sorry to the hawk hatch and shark owners ) what I want to know is why does road tax go up all the time as its not filling the fookin pot holes. Does anyone have a clue why

Because we're easy money. Mad

Because your tax doesn't go towards road repairs it's your Council tax what pays for that mate I think the car tax just goes back to the government to do what they want with it lol

Why are you saying sorry to Hawk owners, my Hawk STI is only £280 for 12 months, how can yours be that high when it's a none turbo

Mines also 280 but it's a turbo.. It don't really make sense to me.. Plus because I pay that much I use no car lanes now and then haha

Because road tax is calculated off your cars C02 emissions.

So mine must be the same as a Range Rover V8 then.........£480 Evil or Very Mad

Must be. Your car C02 emissions will be on your V5

Early hawks pay the £280 per year, whereas the later hawks pay the £490 per year, same emissions, same car, just different amounts???? Same old same old governments penalising the easy targets.
