I have signed it, however there will no doubt be pushback from not wanting to break the alignment with MOT exemption dates, and whilst I have a 30 year old car, I'm not sure I agree with that entirely.....
I would rather they scrapped VED and shoved it all onto fuel, then we pay per mile, and by fuel consumption, thereby encouraging people to get fuel efficient cars, and reduce overall consumption. It would likely be only 2p/l so who cares.....
Less admin, less underlying costs and really easy to collect.

My part on this would be scrape the tax but you still have to MOT the vehicle so its road worthy though!
Awesome!!

Quite a philosophical debate this really. I sat in the S2 whilst waiting to pick up our youngest from another half day at school due to online parent evening prep. (Don’t get me started). Anyway, ahead of me was a 2018 Merc estate. It was filthy, looked tired and carried several battle scars. At least the S2 has paid its dues to the environment and at 28-years old probably owes nothing. The Merc looked unlikely to be extended that privilege in this disposable world. Agree with Bowie on the fuel vice VED. Being an island nation it makes the vast majority pay appropriately.85 WR Urquattro, 85 20vT International liveried RallyRep

Don't boats use red diesel? This seems to suggest as much:

If you are running a petrol engine in a boat you clearly aren't worried about fuel costs
