We have already seen the fuel tax rise, which appears to have come at a time when petrol seems to be on the rise. So surely we have no more rises in store for this area.
Road tax is already scheduled to go up in May, although only by £5 for most cars. The buzz now is around the possible scrappage scheme, which could be modelled on the successful German scheme which has just been extended. Offering around £2000 for people who scrap their 9 year old car and replace it with a brand new one or a year old model. This is being promoted to help support the automotive sector and to encourage drivers to switch to more environmentally friendly vehicles.
So what would you like to see in the budget for drivers?
The revenue generating speed cameras scrapped? Following the example of Swindon.
Cheaper road tax for responsible drivers?
Parking fines related to the price of a vehicle, hurting premiership footballers more than the man on the street?
A reduction in the number of traffic wardens?
So what about you, do you like our suggestions what are yours?
