OUR beloved Chancellor has raised, by a considerable amount, the vehicle licence duty on my car. I owe no finance on my car, it is well maintained and suits my lifestyle, so why should I be forced into debt to buy an unsuitable car with "lower emissions" to save on road tax?

I can offset the CO2 produced by my car for as little as £26 by buying a package from The Carbon Neutral company of carbon reduction measures which will negate any emissions produced by me.

If I produce my certificate of purchase will I then be allowed to purchase the lowest priced tax disc?

No. The Government doesn't give two hoots about climate change (inevitable, anyway). Just like the other cash cow, speed cameras, road tax, which isn't spent on anything worthwhile anyway, is a means of Government fleecing motorists - an easy target.

Will a change of government bring about a reprieve? I doubt it.

They're all rogues. In an election now, I vote for who I consider is the least roguish, regardless of party, I am an adherent of Mark Twain in that respect.
