Oh wow, DOT, well done, you've just extracted another 50 quid a year from the owners of gas guzzling cars. Oh! that's REALLY gonna put them off!
Oh yes, that extra 50 quid really features large in the annual running costs of:
75% excise duty on fuel (on average 1200 quid cost)
7% tax on Insurance (on average 35 quid cost)
VAT on servicing and parts (on average 80 quid per anum)
What really annoys me, apart from the above, is that people will actually feel smug about buying a car which puts them in a category that saves them 50 quid a year?!?!?!?!
Go figure!!!!!

The thin end of the wedge and all that..
Once the concept of banding is established, the upper band rates will be hiked out of all proportion
The cry will be those with big powerful cars should pay, but actually band D applies to more cars that any other. evn my wifes Rover 214 is in band C

Hmmm. The Scoob is in band d - £155 per year. Isn't that what we pay now anyway??
As for the bands, all part of the governments social engineering exercises - or control freakery if you prefer. Get everybody into smaller and smaller cars - and as they do, put the tax up on those.
Dave - cynic of the year, Christ knows how this government are so bloody popular

Its the car salesmen that'll be smug - "with this crappy eurobox slug you'll save £50 per year".
No wonder traffic is getting slower in our towns, is the blue rinse brigade driveing 950cc motors!

Not a very good website it does not list the rover 100 that the wife currently drives.Does that mean she don't have to pay?
Shouldn't it really be based on what individual car puts out instead of classing everone as the same? As i am sure there a lot of older cars that could be less polluting than newer ones. ALWAYS the same go for the motorist easy target!!

I've got a great idea!
Why don't they just amalgamate the tax office with all British car dealers and all British insurance companies.
Then put them all in a great big building with a huge counter in the entrance.
Then, in the beginning of each year, every car owner must approach the building, drop his trousers, spread his **** cheeks wide and enter the building backwards.
Surely this one single huge shafting at the beginning of the year could be an alternative to the repeat buggering that the government and all it's cronies put us through at regular intervals.
AAAaaaaarrrggghhhhh
