March I would assume, Same time my car tax went up.

[acid drop]

road tax has been creeping up gradually in the budget each year but the powers that be dont tell us, Thieving Bastards

Thieving bastarts.

And what do we get for it????

£74.00 a year to use congested roads full of potholes, poorly repairs faults, extensive repair times, and no 'real' National standards for construction.

The Romans came to Britain a couple of thousand years ago and showed the Britons how to build better roads.

Nothing much has been improved since then.
At least they could learn how to dig a hole in a good bit of road and refill so there is no hump.

My theory is they dig the hole on Monday and take the muck to the depot.
They come back to finish the job on Tuesday but bring the truck with the muck from another job.

£16 is nothing.. stop moaning lol
Road tax on motorcycles is still fairly reasonable.

I pay £245 road tax for my 8 year old car. That really sucks.
