The On-Going Rape Of The British Motorist
Are you learning to drive? It may seem like an expensive process but it’s probably the cheapest element of driving as the British government continues it’s steady process of raping the countries motorists.
The costs of owning a car and running it are reaching record heights with constant increases in road tax charges. A recent adjustment via an outright lie as to the percentage of motorists that will be better off has seen an estimate 9.4 million motorists facing a higher charge for tax in 201011. On vehicles made since 2001 excise duty will rise for up to GBP245.
Granted this levee is against the highest polluting vehicles the schoolrun 4x4s with a fall in charges for 18 of motorists. 18 now that’s a nice high number of beneficiaries isn’t it? Shame that the government first ran with the lie that more than 30 would be better off. In fact that’s less than one fifth of motorists.
For the record on the 14th May Gordon Brown our nonelected money grabbing out of touch PM stated: “the majority of motorists will benefit or pay no more in vehicle excise duty as a result.”
This doesn’t mean that if your car was registered before 2001 your cat tax won’t go up. Not at all. A pre2001 1.8 litre car costs a mere GBP101 to keep on the road. Not for year mind that’s for six months. Ten years ago it was somewhere around the GBP70 mark.
In order to get your vehicle taxed however one must first have it pass the rigorous M.O.T exam the Ministry of Transport test that ensures all vehicles are safe and roadworthy. Of course these tests are needed to ensure we’re not driving around a deathtrap but why is the test if it’s obligatory so expensive?
The average M.O.T test costs GBP50. Ten years ago it was under GBP30 surely that’s a rise above the rate of inflation? Now when you add this cost to the cost of your years road fund license your eyes may begin to water. That’s assuming your vehicle passes the test. Given that garages are going to make money from the repairs and the government is already making a small fortune from motorists these tests surely should be chargefree.
Yes the government is making money off motorists and not just in the dreaded road fund license rape scheme. we’ll ignore for now the duty on an already overpriced fuel cost and look at tolls. Ignore the congestion charge and the money it’s raking in for the City of London and the millions of people having to pay to drive around their home and look at something a little older a charge that goes back to 1963. Can you guess what it is yet? Over 150000 motorists a day pay up for this one: The Dartford Crossing.
When the tunnel under the Thames at Dartford was completed in 1963 the premise was that once the construction costs had been paid for the toll would cease. Except it didn’t. Nor when the costs of the Queen Elizabeth II bridge had been covered in 2003 did motorists have to stop paying their toll.
A quick calculation of 150000 vehiclesaday for a year offers up a nice GBP54750000. That’s assuming all those tolls are cars which as anyone who has used the crossing will testify they’re not. Heavy goods vehicles have to pay GBP2.90 a crossing then there’s the fact that what goes one way also comes the other on the way home. So you can at least double that. Then there’s that glorious peak season around Christmas and January when a crossing time of 20 minutes becomes over an hour due to traffic volume. A tollpaying traffic volume.
The government’s reason for not abandoning the toll as previously agreed i.e: backsliding on a former promise is as an effort to reduce congestion at the crossing. Well that has clearly worked as anyone who has dared to approach it on a working day at pretty much any time will notice as they sit in traffic crawling along to offer up their contribution to what must be a billionsmaking racket.
The Government’s continued rape of the motorists would be at least slightly tolerable if road and public transport saw the benefit outside of London. Public transport outside of large cities is a potential nightmare and road surfaces anywhere off a motorway are often a shambles. Good to know the money is going somewhere.
Driving lessons may seem like a daunting expense a course of ten for an average 250 of your British pounds but when you compare it to the amount the Government are happily waiting to steal from you the second you pass your test it’ll seem like nothing.

The Help Of Volkswagen Restoration Parts
Volkswagen has been selling wagons in the United States for over fifty years and is one of the most successful car companies in the world. If you can even set your mind back far enough before the introduction of the first Transporter or when people started to call it the Microbus Volkswagen referred to it as the Volkswagen Station Wagon plain and simple. That Volkswagen line went on for some time until the first Type IIIs burst on the scene. This ultimately paved the way for the Type IV then the Dasher to the Quantum and Fox wagons and finally the Passat which has been the leader in this area since 1990.
The latest wagon that is released from the Volkswagen manufacturers is the SportWagen. This wagon is built off of the Jetta model but it is much more than a sedan with a hatch on it. This vehicle is completely new and innovative with the unique fashion of the rear doors. The rear quarter panels are wagon specific and have the unique tail lamps that are characteristic of the Volkswagen look. Even the rear headrests are different; they sit lower so they do not block visibility out of the hatch.
The Volkswagen is sure to impress all of its owners in 2009 as well as anyone who takes an interest in Volkswagen restoration parts. It has been proven that the new Volkswagen SportWagen is actually only fifty pounds heavier than its sedan counterparts. Typically the weight of the Jetta is mostly in the trunk so this actually helps to balance out the normally nose heavy front drive and provide a better weight distribution.
Volkswagen restoration parts are things that have been used for many years to update and modify different Volkswagen models. Whether you are a Volkswagen enthusiast or a first owner it is a good idea to take the time to learn about Volkswagen restoration parts because they may become very useful to you in the future. If you are someone who enjoys vintage cars but worry about how they will hold up for the future then Volkswagen restoration parts are exactly what you need.
The standard and midrange SportWagens are equipped with a standard 2.5 liter aluminum inline five that is deployed across the rest of the Volkswagen lineup and makes for a 170 horsepower and 177 pound feet torque. This car is the next big thing for Volkswagen and is definitely something you should look for in 2009.
