Stop Car Tax from increasing ridiculously so high

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

As everyone is aware starting from
April 1st 2017 all the road tax for vehicles will be insreased so high it will almost impossible to own a car.
With the insurances already so high and the fuel costs going up daily it is already hard to pay all the costs.
e.g now If we are paying £185 for 12 months road tax for 151g/km -169g/km that will increase to £500.

The increase in Vehicle tax will not only affect us by high taxes, it will also push up the prices for daily use items.

we request the parliament to abolish the increase in tax and keep it to current level.
