Car tax disc to be axed after 93 years

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25223631

Good idea or not?

I say not as I will no longer be able to dial 999 to report that my neighbour's tax disc is out of date.

 

Meh.

 

It was always a grossly unfair tax, as it charged people who only occasionally used their cars exactly the same as those who drove thousands of miles every week.

 

They are not scrapping the tax, just the discs that we display on our windscreens.

 

Over here there is a way around that if you drive a vintage car,you're allowed a certain mileage per year so cheaper car tax,do they have similar in UK?

 

He's an Israeli.

Think there is similar, or no tax for vintage cars.

 

I just bought a new disc holder last week, ****ing raging now!

 

.

I know that but he does come back sometimes,I think.

 

Most of em drive tanks, which require a tax disk attached to the gun sights.

 

Claim it back off the government.

 

Could make a handy spare inside pocket if you attach the sticky side inside your jacket

No bothered about whether or not they get rid if tax discs.

What they should do is abolish doing ye fur a fine if it's not displayed. Their computer systems know whether or not yer road legal these days.

My tax was due last month and as usual I forgot about it till the last minute and done it online. Spent 3 days expecting to get done while I waited on the disc coming through the post.

 

To keep yer drugs and condoms in.

 

Pikies will be ambivalent about this news.

 

I used to have an Aston Martin DB5 which I only drove at weekends or at the track.

I used to have to pay the full UK Road Tax on her, despite only clocking-up a very limited annual mileage.

That's a smashing motor.

 

I bought her when I was 21 in 1978.

Broke my heart when I sold her seven years later.

 

The people who drive thousands of miles every year do pay extra, it's called fuel duty and VAT

 

Jakey, yet again, proves he's too thick to understand a basic sentence.
