You're absolutely right of course....
Your comment summed up the attitude of our ruling Labour party toward the motorist. They see us as a cash cow and intend to play the environmental card each time they squeeze us that little bit tighter.
It's why there are thousands of speed cameras installed along relatively safe stretches of road while the accident hotspots go unmonitored. No amount of government spin will change the way I vote in less than a year's time with one objective - to see Labour out of office. I resent paying extra taxes to fund a war that the British public were hoodwinked into accepting because of more government misinformation.
However, the SUV represents all that's bad in society. They're generally unnecessary and if you've ever driven on Britain's narrow, congested roads they're nothing short of a menace.
