On a side note -- Imagine if 60-70% of the population bought cars that were environmentally friendly or just so damn f**king slow that they drank no fuel and paid almost no road tax.
The government would need to find reasons to bump up road tax and fuel duty or introduce a new stealth tax because people arent burning enough fossil fuels in their cars -- I can really see this happening... How about a
'battery tax' on hybrids?? £5-10 per milliamp because the cost of making them creates a lot of pollution
never mind what happens to them when they no longer hold charge.
meanwhile... lets ramp up ticket prices for public transport by 5-15% to give you even more of a reason to use your own vehicle.
and now its all f**king gone.
