If, like me, you've got a car registered between March 2001 and March 2006, then you're currently paying Â£210 VED for a car putting out over 225g of CO2. Despite the fact that keeping a car running whilst it is perfectly serviceable makes far more sense than scrapping it and getting a new one, the black-browed skunk has decided that as from 2009, we should be paying Â£440 for the privilege!!! Even a car putting out a fairly modest 201g/km is going to be stung with Â£300!!!

If you disapprove, sign the petition here --> http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/UNFAIR-VED/#detail

If you want more detail on the actual tax bands, they're here --> http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Nl1/Newsroom/Budget200...

Given that the petition only currently has 1,500 or so signatories, I'm assuming it's not yet on too many motoring forums, so please get on there and sign up! They may well ignore it, but it can't do any harm, and they just might listen!

Im a little lost with this new road tax. It looks to me as we would only be paying 210 or have I got this wrong ?

Also my car is a 2000 reg does this make a difference ?

Great, everyone keep signing!

I'll keep bumping this until Jae is able to make it a sticky.
