    I am banning myself,,,

    It has come to my conclusion that whilst there are many people on here who are normal down to earth people, they are regrettably outnumbered by stuck up Toffs. Why is talking about football, politics and religion not allowed? These topics make the world go round, therefore a healthy debate is...

    The Tories would have you believe that your sister is your dad and your left ball is your right arm.......... A very fitting example.

    New mot regs - do you need to panic?

    You would have to have a tester who knows what every exhaust on every car looks like or a book with pictures for them to check, I would think as long as they see the front ones all will be OK.

    Fuel shortage?

    The reason for a leap year is that as you quite rightly say there are 365.25 days in a year and we can't have a quarter of a day, so we give ourselves an extra day every 4 years. The reasons for picking February to add a day on rather than any other month is another issue. As for bank...

    Fuel shortage?

    In that case I stand corrected, I thought the duty was a percentage of the pump price. I will answer politely! Which ever way you look at it there was an extra day in the year, therefore an extra days worth of revenue...And yes you are correct, an extra days VAT on everything that we pay VAT...

    Fuel shortage?

    Maybe I should have worded it better......A percentage of the pump price goes to the government so higher pump price more revenue, times that higher revenue by years and it's a s*** load. If it goes up 5p then after the strike drops by 1p it's still higher than now. There was an article that...

    Fuel shortage?

    The prices stay high equals more tax and VAT for years, troops won't get paid any extra for driving tankers.

    Fuel shortage?

    As I said earlier the prices will go up and after the drivers return to work the prices will stay up.

    Fuel shortage?

    I've just put Tesco momentum (99 RON) in at £141.9 If the tanker drivers go on strike even if the army deliver fuel the price will go up and then when the tanker drivers go back to work the price will stay up.

    Taxing a Car Without Insurance

    That would have and still would depend on the individual cop that pulled you, but these days all sorts of cameras clock you so you could get a fine weeks later. This is why when I sell a car I not only date the receipt but I put the time on also, and when I buy. Also if you get stopped on the...

    Taxing a Car Without Insurance

    Me I would ring the insurance company and tell them to either put you on the database now OR email you a copy of the policy that is good enough quality to print out and use at the post office.

    Taxing a Car Without Insurance

    You can't usually tax it online straight away due to the delay in it going on the insurance database, you could ring your insurer to ask them to get it on so you can tax it but as you said the disc will go to the person you bought it off. At least it will be taxed, but the post office should...

    Uninsured won't be able to get fuel.

    I had just been to the MB dealer to order a key (this was in 2007) so I had all my paperwork with me, I was driving up the road right into a ANPR trap where they were stood in the road waving people in. They told me I had no insurance so I produce my folder with everything in it, they said they...

    Uninsured won't be able to get fuel.

    I don't see why insurance companies can't put you on the database straight away, it's only a few clicks to do so. I had a car taken off me by police because I was not on the database after two months, I had all my paperwork with me but the insurance weren't answering their phone. I got all the...

    Toll Roads in Britain

    Scandalous! We pay road tax and fuel duty and VAT on the fuel duty, they should use that to sort the roads out. Also if they removed all the stupid paint and bollards that turn two lane roads into one lane it would cut congestion. They do it on purpose, cut two lanes to one and say the roads are...

    Uninsured won't be able to get fuel.

    Bad idea because the insurance company has 14 days to add you to the database, so if you just insured the car you would be knackered. UK Looking to Integrate Cameras to Prevent Uninsured Drivers from Gassing Up | AutoGuide.com News
