A cyclists tax bill would be £0, exactly the same as a low/zero emissions car.(OT) Which is completely baffling - the fact that ROAD tax is based on the car’s emissions. I mean it’s a ROAD tax, not an AIR tax, rite? A Tesla causes as much wear and tear to roads as a 20 year old diesel if not more because it’s heavier (guess) but pays no tax lol. Let’s all drive Teslas and no one will be paying ROAD tax, see how long before all the roads are gone/useless
One more thing declaring electric cars ‘0 emission’ is pure hypocrisy or any powered vehicle for that matter but that’s even further OT
Hate to be picky. But it’s not called road tax anymore. Hasn’t been for a while.
It’s excise duty.
All goes to govenment then a proportion gets spent on road repairs.
End day say we did all drive pure eletric cars the govenment would soon change the law amd.bring in a charge.
