Okay, so the government announced in their Autumn budget that they are going to raise road fund licence fee on diesel cars (not vans). The question is by how much and extent.
I've just paid £245 for 12 months for my 2.8 SWB A. I'm sure it was £230 the year before, and lower still the year before that, seem to remember £215 but I might be wrong. Shouts loud and clear that said fee as been rising yearly anyway but are they now going to smack us really hard to run our diesel older trucks. Bar-stewards comes to mind.
As a side note, I was with a guy the shouted his support at the announcement. My responding question back was how long have you been running your hybrid, electric motor. His response was he isn't, because his car is a diesel, needs to be because of the mileage he covers on his daily commute. Wry smile on my face but says it all.
