Probably go up next year too.

Do you pay more if you pay monthly. Or dose it work out same price 290

Think if it went past the 300 Mark I think it be time for an new car, It has me worried when the mention about diesel's and the future over them

My mother pays 20 pound road tax when I told her I pay 290 think I nearly give her an heart attack lol

If you pay by Direct Debit they charge a little extra,about £10-15,spread over the 12 months. As I posted mine has now gone up another £10 so i am now paying £330.75 for 12 months...ouch!...

Nope.... did read it was going up for 3rd year in a row.. what you got to realise all the M.P.'s have holidays and mortgage rises to pay for this year so the money got to come from somewhere....


I might just take a wheel off and re-register it as a rover reliant robin..

I have mine going out monthly and although it's 5% more, I don't have to worry about it, it's always paid.

Don't forget the Severn Bridge and 2nd Severn crossing now are nationalised and have to be paid for by the government as there are now no tolls.
