Care to run that by me again? You want to stop car use entirely?

No, link the tax they pay to the amount they *use* the vehicle and
thus the amount of pollution they cause - that means that the tax
should be on the fuel and not the *wish* to use the vehicle.

This would effect business users most and put up the cost of
virtually
everything - including those goods bought by non car owners. Is that
what
you want?


The haulage industry could use 'blue diesel' at some level of tax
rebate [1], as has been suggested many times, the only thing this
might affect is how much money HMG has to waste.

[1] this could even be stepped depending on what the business is.
