My road tax is £15 a year, on a car and a motorbike. Far cheaper than a shoddy tshirt!

the anti-cyclist arguments seem to have got bored of the "road tax" stuff and moved onto the "they all jump red lights and ride on the pavement" nonsense.

The Road Fund Tax on my car is £0

I just had the pleasure of paying £405 for my road tax. Same as a Lamborghini for my Mondeo..... 10% more emmissions than my old car and over twice the cost to tax it. Still, i knew that when i bought it so i'm not complaining - the car was dead cheap to buy nearly new because nobody wants to pay the high tax. Would have cost me £5-7k more to get a similar spec car with a BMW or Audi badge on it so if i keep it for 5 years then it sort of evens out.

Previously. It is a site of great tedium, permanently peddled by Carlton Reid via Twitter.
It is one side of a bickering, playground argument "yes it is" "no it isn't".

Holy cow - I just paid that in total for both my 12yr old Volvo AND the wife's 4x4!

Errrm maths is not your strong point then and I also bet the Audi and BMW in 5 years time would give you more money back. Still £5k is a hell of a saving but £405 for VED is mental.
I clicked on the link and seen a good awful website being pedantic about VED not being road tax.

I have a V12 5.5Litre (1995) and that only costs £225 per year, its emissions are ok, it just that it blurts them out at 10mpg!
So I can afford the tee-shirt!

We have a Toyota Corolla on which we pay no Road Tax, because it was abolished in 1937.
