i think people should pay £600 on 4x4's and farmers who actually require them should get a subsidy (sp)

Don't agree with it tbh, surely there is another way to get some extra money

Charge everyone an extra £1, revenue from that would be enough.

i would but think paying alot more tax for something that takes up more road, uses more petrol and can be deadly if you crash into someone, would be fair

imagine if everyone decided to get 4x4's, would block alot of roads up

There are some of the big luxury cars that take up more space on the roads than the average 4x4, so should they be subject to this tax aswell? What about people that drive Volvo Estates? They're fairly big, and they'd do a fair bit more damage than most cars if you had an accident with one.

It shouldn't be about whether you "need" one. You should be allowed free choice of what car you want to buy. A 4x4 driver has as much right to use the road, and thus should be charged the same as any other motorist.

take the other view. if I was to be in a crash I would rather it be in a big car than a small piece of shit like a saxo or corsa.

it all stems down to mums protecting their kids

the husbands that buy these wifes the 4x4's are usually working down london or abroad and don't ever see em

well thats the case round here, is how u end up with pompus women, all they know is their husbands money and looking after kids, so they probably don't give a fcuk anyway

No. Owning one of them is like going around dressed in full Burberry.

It's got nothing to do with that. It's to do with emissions. If your Corsa had a 5.0 V8 in it it would be in the same tax band as a Hummer.

only if it produced the same carbon emissions which is would not because the corsa is lighter

Thats wrong mate

The CO2 emissions of a 1.4 corsa twinsport are: 142g/km

That means that it fits into tax band C, the price for 12 months tax for band C is £100, £5 less than last year
