[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Close. What Fabrux is talking about is called a "congenstion charge" and only exists in London, and possibly Manchester. Cities where travelling a mile can take weeks. Road tax is different. Over here every single car has to be taxed before it is allowed on public roads. Hence, a road tax. It used to go on engine size (one bracket for 1.4 and below, another for anything bigger), but now it goes on emmisions in an attempt to be greaner and to get people to but more efficient cars. So a 1.1 Clio diesel would be £30 road tax for the year, while a big range rover could be up to £250 per year. Automatics tend to be about £50-£100 more per year because of the emissions. That's why the UK is one of the rarer countries where manual (stick) driving is more common than automatic. If you care, here are the road tax brackets for the [URL=http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/specs/Summary.aspx?model=1321&page=3]Ford Focus[/URL], the most common car in the UK. I think. [/QB][/QUOTE]
