Since then the new vehicles are environmentally friendly and Co2 are less than vehicles before 2000s. So why are we pay more ROAD TAX AND RISING EVERY YEAR. Road tax should be cheaper.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you would like to reduce vehicle excise duty for less polluting vehicles, but we're not sure whether you want to cars registered before 2001 to be taxed based on their emissions are or whether you'd like a different change to reduce vehicle tax rates.
