lorries could afford more tax TBH. Company i work for is raking it in but i spose some small companies might go under.

Lorries do cause a lot of damage and we do now charge some vehicles extra so its only fair lorries/PSV should pay more. most of the lorries abroad pay more and we are charged for going to some but we do not charge foreign imports any road tax and they do add to the problem.

Give higher taxes to 4x4 vehicles over say 2.5L that live in the urban areas. Put it up quite substantionally. Mums who take 2 kids to the school dont need a 4.2L V8 powered Toyota. They need a small car!

Too damn right. Its almost ludicrous trailing the kids to school in an oversized SUV (With no towbar) that would be about as much use in a crash, or off road as a Mk I mini.
