Makes sense

When they introduced ev's they did not have to pay car tax, not only did the exchequer lose that income but they also lost the 55% taxes on every litre of fuel.

Currently the income from just car tax for the 2024/2025 year was £8.2 billion

Currently the income from fuel duty & vat on fuel duty for the 2024/2025 year was £34 billion

A total of £42.2 billion a year screwed out of motorists. If we all went over to electric tomorrow, where do you think they will try and get that money from :unsure:

Plus, duty on imported cars...plus VAT on new cars (and on top of the duty on imports), plus VAT on vehicle repairs, servicing, parts and accessories.
 
Saw a report this morning that many Jaecoo and MG vehicles are rusting on weld seems and the 6 year warranty on rust doesn't cover it :ROFLMAO:






Owners of Jaecoo, BYD, and other Chinese-made vehicles struggling to get UK car insurance​

 
It's been proposed that waymo driverless cars will start in London within months (despite Bristol refusing them) and the chief executive has said they are safe based on millions of miles they have done in the U.S.


Three problems he has not taken into account for London apart from we do not have any jaywalking laws and the three problems are

Pedestrians in London are Guinness's
Cyclists in London are Guinness's and
Drivers in London are Guinness's

Im trying to think what the benefits of a driverless car would be.
If you owned one i guess you coukd do other stuff while traveling, watch a movie, sex in the back seat etc, although personally i like driving and hate being a passenger let alone one in a car with no one at the wheel.
Do they even have steering wheels?
In a cab the only upside i can see is ya dont have to listen to bangla music and talk to someone who speakes broken english and smells of rotten curry.
Down side is the loss of yet more jobs ( albeit those of stinky people) and more money going to large corporations. I doubt these cabs will take cash. More entrusting our lives to machines except in this case possibly more literally.
if you get cut up by one of these vehicals who ya gunna abuse, threaten and possibly punch in the face when you catch up with em at the next set of lights or on their driveway after you follow em home? The passenger? I guess youd have to...
Ya think taxi fares will go down to reflect the fact there is no driver or up because the tech costs so much? Probably be cheaper to begin with till all drivers are out of business then through the roof so only the rich can use em.
i guess we will still have illegall mini cabs then. Unless the cops all of a sudden start policing those. But why would they do that...
