We own a small car, it gets used maybe once every two weeks.
I'm in favour of the system being how it is now plus increases in the charge. Petrol is approximately 60% tax, keep it like that as to raise that tax discriminates against those who live in rural areas and who actually do need a car. Keep the car tax system as it is, it already discriminates on car size, good! Raise the CG to £20 for small cars, that is still less than a taxi, raise to to £40 for gas guzzlers and use part of the revenue raised to enforce reduced emissions from buses, taxis and mini cabs. Oh and immeadiately extend the emissions zone to include all "trade" type vehicles including vans. Then we might be able to breath.
PS: Vote Ken, he is far from perfect but its him or Boris, nuff said!
