Question

Car Tax, MOT, insurance cost me £500; others pay much more; time for a consumer revolt?

Answer 1

are you leading the charge?

Answer 2

Everyone pays the same for an MOT.

Car tax depends on age and emissions.

Insurance depends on age of driver, value of car, previous accidents etc etc.

I pay way less than you in total.

Answer 3

The motorist is just a cash cow, from the moment you take ownership of a car or bike the government has it's sticky fingers in your wallet.

Don't know what form a revolt would take though .. apart from hitting them in the pocket by staying off the roads, anything else will put you in court .. you can hit people over the head and mug them, but God help you if you get caught driving an untaxed vehicle.

Answer 4

Answer 5

tallpaul is absolutely right!

if you are not happy with what you are paying then you should get a smaller car and drive more carefully
