Are motorists being taxed too much?

Post categories:

Car tax disc expiring 2009Do you think road tax is hammering the motorist unfairly? MPs say drivers don't trust the government and the reasons it gives for raising taxes. Instead, they've suggested a voluntary 'pay-as-you-drive' charging system. Is that the answer? And should revenues be spent on other projects such as cutting carbon emissions or improving public transport, or do you believe your money should only be re-invested in the roads?

Thanks for all your calls on this morning's show. You can, of course, continue the debate here.
