It's a bastard, ain't it? And just one reason why I keep my 1969 Series IIa/III on the road on an Historic Vehicle (==free) tax disc.

my rangey reg sept 2001 will cost me according to parkers in 2010 £455 to tax,
how can they be allowed to do that?
I use the vehicle only to tow my caravan and I do about 2500 miles a year in it.
Any petitions against it?

i'll sign it if you put one up, i've long felt that the use of caravans on public roads should be made illegal

Shed-dragging aside, I'd sign it. Go set it up and announce it here.

for what its worth

Petition to: Remove the unfair and unjust retrospective Vehicle Execise Duty levy (back to 2001 year vehicles) as announced in the Budget on 12/3/08.

There also one on there to propose to ban all caravans by 2020

Just signed it - lets hope it does some good

It applies to all licenced Hackney Carriage taxis (Black Cabs) regardless of age. The cab trade has had to spend a fotune on having all vehicles modified to comply with regulations. Minicabs are ordinary cars and subject to the same rules as private cars.

Come on lets get it over the 10 thousand mark then they may actually take some notice!!

An energy person, appointed by Our Brilliant PM, has pointed out on national TV that there is a simple way to avoid the big increase in road tax that Freelanders will suffer.
She explained to her ignorant subjects that all we have to do is trade in our existing cars, made virtually worthless by the impending tax changes, and buy a new low emission vehicle. Simple isn't it?
