Switching Lanes in an Intersection??
They dont seem to give a toss about the people who genuinely need 4x4s for their business etc. not everyone buys them as posing machines! Incidentally I dont own a 4x4 but my parents do as they need it to pull a tow-a-van trailer for their modest business! So in answer to other answers, wind your necks in - not all people with 4x4s are rich or arrogant Mr Toads you know!

Note, however, that it is cars with high CO2 emissions that will be punished, not just 4x4s, and not even all 4x4s.
I support taxation to encourage people to buy more environmentally-friendly vehicles, but not as an excuse to generate additional revenue (there should be a drop in taxation on less-polluting cars to make the move revenue-neutral) and not without some procedure to ensure that those who live in rural areas where a normal car is not a practical proposition are not burdened by a tax aimed at urban dwellers.
1998 Eldorado (w/out Northstar) OR 1998 Mark VIII ?
Just another way of squeezing more money out of us on the pretext of 'saving the planet'.Even if (and it's a big 'if') CO2 emissions cause global warming.. and if every car and 4x4 in Britain were to be taken off the road, we are such a small country it would be like a gnat's piss in the pacific.It would not make any difference.It's just a money making ploy which tries to appease the green lobby(who,incidentally want to raise the road tax of sports cars/4x4s to £2000). This would just increase the number of untaxed,uninsured cars on our road.absolutely stupid.Whichever party was to oppose this would have a very good chance of winning the election.
