Excellent for classic car enthusiasts!all vehicles using satnav/black box tech.
Yes it is illogical.Im not a fan of black boxes and surveillance. My current insurance black box logged me as 96mpg yesterday on the M5 over a stretch where I was lucky to be hitting double figures for an hour. 96mpg...if only
More than the standard VED it'll be the new car surcharge. I currently pay a fortune for a relatively low emission petrol engine because the car was over 40k. It makes the first few years of ownership expensive
VED isn't there to pay for the roads etc. Like every tax now, it's simply there to pour into the black hole that is government expenditure.Yes it is illogical.
IMO the payment should be primarily linked to road use which means the only fair method is fuel levy but that was unpopular with politically influential groups, however fair it was and didn’t last long.
I suppose expecting logic or even fact to have much weight in policy is naive.
