Will speeding soon become a thing of the past!

[Sad555]

Not the window tax coming back or perhaps speeding cyclists or mobility scooters because it is all about the money.

I wonder how long it will be before they raise the VAT rate for electricity from 5% to 20%!!!

It'll happen as soon as EVs are the majority, or even a sufficiently significant percentage to justify levying heavier taxation on the non-EVs to force people into EVs... and then it'll rise again.

( Looking into a crystal ball), I'd suggest that as soon as the percentage is high enough, houses will have two tarrifs- domestic and car.

On the speed limits a thing of past. Doubt it, too many SCP and retired traffic police depend on SAC to enhance their income, along with the home grown industry grown out of the need to reduce police education of motorists by reducing human police and replacing them with Robot enforcement.

the UK Government can after BREXIT, so GPS Tachographs on all motorised vehicles.

They can do speeding fines and road mileage charging, as well as congestion / low emission zone charging.

...Already can. The government has had the right to veto any EU directive it wanted to. They either did not realise, ignored the fact or even used the EU rules to remove themselves from the blame!

[Ootohere]

Is there some EU Directive they would have had to veto?

Was it not just that they never bothered.
