sinbad Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 I dont go into london but id be happy to donate for some decent lawyers to back porsche and fight the increase in the charge. Its pretty lame to try and ekk yet more money out of car users. We pay more than our fair share in taxes. Quote
Beavis Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 We pay more than our fair share in taxes. Tell me about it, got the Taxman on my back again. Don't know why i don't give him the shirt off my back as well Quote

Stew Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 One question here. Well two actually. What do they do with the money raised? How many trees would need planted to 'offset' the emissions? I think you can guess where I'm going with this! How can that Labour prick charge £25 to enter London if you could offset the CO2 emmissions via tree planting. If the congestion charge is not put directly into reducing the poison in the air then how can the charge it? Quote

Hence why Im voting Boris and also voting conservatives, screw labour they suck so does Livingstone Slightly of topic, even if Conservative do get in will still take forever to undo all the problems labour has done to this country, so may be leaving the country for good soon Quote
Chesterfield Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Perhaps we could arrange a meet, on the border of the C-Charge zone - point our exhausts toward the zone and rev away? It was supposed to be "Congestion" charging.. How does a Porsche 911 (or 350z for that matter) congest the roads more than a similar sized electric car? Or is it now "Climate" charging instead of congestion, I dont remember the citizens of London voting for that...... Quote
Stew Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Well I noticed the article only said C-charging....... Funny that isn't it Chris? I have never driven near london but think it's a disgrace! That's a point I was thinking along the lines of CO2 when actually it has nothing to do with congestion....... I think they have been confused. So on that matter you should be paying for the size of car you have not the emissions. Screw you Prius goody goodies! Pay like everyone else! Quote
sinbad Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Why is road tax charged by emissions? is this charging car users again for what they have already paid. Quote

The pound you earn becomes 60p (at top level) You then pay for fuel with your 60p and that is approx 70% tax And then they put 17.5% tax on the tax And then you tax your car And then you pay tax for insuring it Oh, and then want £25 for driving to the place that collects your taxes.....
