Its £58 more than your car as all these cheap or zero tax cars are having there short fall made up by bikes and older/higher emission cars, where I can see the logic in the car side of it I can't for bikes. There is now no real differential in having two wheels and smaller engine as against four and bigger engine plus there are no co2 banding levels for bikes that I know of, it's just a treasury giving with one hand taking with the other rip off.

vehicle road use tax
No, it's not because you pay it whether you use the roads or not even if your vehicle is *off* the road (unless you SORN) and you don't pay for how much you use the roads.
It is a tax on your ownership of a vehicle, pure and simple.

Holy crap! I wish!
I just forked out £280.00 for my car :'(

You want to use the road, you pay the tax or you can't. That is road tax. You don't use your vehicle on the road you don't have to pay it. If you don't intend to use the road you declare sorn, you don't declare sorn then you intend to use the road. not tax on owning the vehicle as you can own the vehicle and not use the road.

£180 for the car £16 for my girlfriends bike :eek

Couldn't you just sell one of their kidneys just to tide you over?

Try the DVLA for an accurate description, it is described as vehicle tax not road tax, as I stated it hasn't been road tax for some years when it was known as Road Fund License.
Wiki is quite frequently wrong.
While it's quite flattering having you follow me around trying to correct every post I make, it is getting a bit silly, especially as you are so consistently wrong.

The main reason I have a small car (2004 ford fiesta 1.4TDCi £20 a year road tax) is because I am trying to save money. I was driving an Audi A4 2.0 petrol sport for the last couple of years but the road tax at £265ish a year and the fuel bills were just stupid. The fiesta is dull but for now it's the way it has to be. Just filled it up today £56 and I'd done just over 500 miles. The bike is for fun for me so it does seem stupid that the road tax for my bike is about £60. £40 more than the car I use almost every day. :rolleyes

Of course the ridiculous thing is that I pay £0 for 12 months vehicle tax on my classic bike and even better than that, two mate have classic cars and also pay £0 for their vehicle tax/
One is a 3.0 Capri and the other has a MK1 Lotus Cortina and a Corsair with a transplanted modernish V8 engine with pretty much just the original bodywork left!
Gas guzzlers indeed yet their VED is free - work that one out!
-
How much is the tax on a twelve year old car that does 160mph and 0-60 in a little over 3 seconds?
Bet its a lot more than 78 quid. :b
I think its a bit of a bargain really. The wifes 2012 1.4 Fiesta Zetec is more than that, and BORING as fuck to drive. Goes round corners ok though. :evil
Dont tell her that though, she'll call me a 'mad lad'.

And where did I say it's not a tax?
Once again in your mission to correct me you have made yourself look silly, I said it's not ROAD tax, it is Vehicle Excise Duty - in that it ain't spent on the roads.
Please go away now and obsess about someone else, I'm bored with you.

From memory it's a metallic blue 1970 (ish) face lifted model with 4 headlights, haven't seen it for a while but I think it's mostly stock with a few mechanical upgrades knowing him. He's not into facebook so no easy to get pics but I'll ask when I see him.

I'm not talking to you, you feel the need to comment on every post I make on every thread, like all bullys you just want to have the last word.
Look down on the floor, over to the left a bit, there it is, pick it up and put it back in, next time you spit your dummy out I might not be here to help you. :rollin

You're funny. For a troll.

One troll on any forum is enough and we have one, he's called UG.
I'm sure you'll be along with your beloved Wiki description of a troll but as far as I know trolls don't contribute to forum discussions, they just try to take them off topic or destroy them altogether.
Have a look at your posts and then mine (I mean a proper look, not your usual speed read the first two lines then dash off a comment) and tell me who you think fits the troll description.

Wait a minute guys, the popcorn isn't ready yet :lol

Oh oh default response when not In agreement.
The budgie fella has a point
Anyhoo.

This is the first time in my life I've been called a bully so I'll not put much stock in it, especially from a tool, sorry troll.

I presume he means he won't look at this thread anymore. So, to summarise: He said something, someone else said something, they disagreed, he gave up and left the conversation.
Shame as the popcorns ready now, you want some tibs?

Well, if the sideshow's over, I'll just say I agree with Pilgrim's comment that it's not bad value compared with a car.
The 54mpg I get from the Fazer works out at just over 120g CO2/km, but a (post March 2001) car with emissions in that range would just hit the £105 level of road tax. So from that point of view, £57 for a 600cc bike tax disc could be seen as reasonable… even going some way towards recognising that we benefit other road users by reducing congestion.

Ah, sorry misread it and thought you owned the Capri, I'll blame it on the rum from being a pirate and hijacking the thread :hijack :lol

What was all that about?
Couple of things annoy me about road tax, I bought my used 2002 VW in 2005 just before they introduced the new system. And what did they do, they introduced it retrospectively. So I bought an ordinary car, knowing how much it would cost me to buy a tax disc, then they reworked the road tax system and wacked my tax right up. How can that be fair?
Then I've got my bike, of which again I have to pay road tax if I wanna use it. Funny thing is I can only use one at a time, so why am I paying road tax twice over, same for third party insurance.
Scrap The Road Tax and stick it on fuel. That way the more you use, the more you pay. Fair for everybody, and yup it's gonna make my think when it comes time to change the car.

VED,VAT, tax on everything. Then you have all the cost of administration (DVLA). There are too many bands/tiers of duty containing too many anomalies.
My 1951 25cc Cyclemaster: Tax exempt/MOT exempt
Fazer 600: Tax £31-35 for 6 months
Fazer Thou: Tax about £74 per annum
Fiat Panda 1.1 Tax £30 per annum.
If we are to be taxed for road USE then,yes, put a penny or so on cost of fuel to pay for pollution/wear & tear( or whatever they really spend it on!)
If for vehicle OWNERSHIP I suppose we are stuck with present system, with all its anomalies, together with all the associated admin costs.
At least by putting the cost on fuel it prevents the tax disc dodgers benefitting.
Perhaps show a disc for insurance & one for MOT???-think they do something like this in Eire?
