we need to get as many people to sign this as possible make sure you click the link that is emailed to you otherwise your vote will not be counted.

 

Hopefully someone from the admin team can make this a sticky for me.

Signed. Over a certain amount os signatures the government has to take it into account! So get signing.

 

Restore a rolling 30 year-old exemption to VED, for classic vehicles

Responsible department: Her Majesty's Treasury

 

 

Re-introduce a 30 year rolling vehicle excise duty exemption scheme, for classic vehicles.

 

For too long now the tax exemption of classic cars has been frozen, to only apply to those manufactured before 1973. History did not simply stop in 1972.

 

These are not cars which are driven everyday but rather on sunny weekends, to attend enthusiast shows etc..

 

It is vitally important that we help to preserve this important part of British motoring history.

That whole petition thing is a waste of time anyway, how are MP's meant to take it seriously when people post up things like this

An excessive dairy intake is one of the main causes of obesity and heart disease, and consequently puts a substantial strain on NHS resources. Whilst I don't agree with the idea of a nanny state, there are unfortunately many people who cannot make informed choices for the benefit of their health and one of the main habits is the consumption of full-fat milk, when healthier options are available. The government should set a date after which semi skimmed (which contains half the fat of whole milk) would be the fattiest available. In the long term this could save many lives and take a huge burden off the NHS.

 

Wow. Just, wow.

Looks like they will soon be stopping free road tax on anything soon

 

There is a £13 billion shortfall now due to cheaper road tax for more modern fuel efficient cars!!!!

Government spokesman is quoted as saying "Classic car owners will have to pay again"

[morcheen]

just heard that the low emission cars like the prius etc might now have to pay the congestion charge in london.so after telling people to buys these cars they now change the King rules.politicians all the same just want your cash .i can't ever see the free tax being extended more likely to go the other way

[johnnyspencer]

dont worry about it, in 30 years time we will all be floating about on apple ibusses that run on fart power and the car will just be a rich mans toy. by that time there will be a massive fart tax though!
