they used to charge me something close to that years ago as i had a 2007 jeep Grand Cherokee - bought her new but had old merc engine in it made a grunt, 12/13 miles pg in town, sold her in 2011 when she was 4 years old. I never complained about the tax as i saw myself lucky to be able to afford a nice car, and keep it road legal.

Blame your local council. Roads are paid for from council tax.

It was, initially, introduced to maintain and upgrade roads. Hence the term Road Fund Licence. These days, it is just collected to pay politicians’ expenses.....

If on the other hand you’re announcing to all that MaserMan has a Maserati, maybe find a way to do it that doesn’t make you sound tight with your money?

"I can accept paying but roads round my way are shit huge pot holes and nothing’s ever done about them "

Go on to Fix My Street. Councils don't get much, if anything, from the car tax take but local roads fall to them to fix. Austerity means that they don't have people to inspect the streets so holes that go unreported get bigger.

On your OP, this is a tax you can avoid. You make the choice about having a car and the type of car. Be prepared for those costs to increase to deal with air pollution.

I believe it's from 1mph to around 20. However I'm sure you'll find as electric cars become more prevalent they will make ones that just use engine noises, I believe mustang already do it in their hybrid muscle cars,the noise isnt actually being produced from the engine, it's basically a recording

I don't see anyone else exhibiting hatred or jealousy either. That's lazy social media opinion of people not agreeing with the OP (whatever it might say, not this OP specifically - cos you've got to spell these things out to get people to understand).

"Why do cyclists and horses clog up the roads but pay no tax "

Road tax doesn't pay for roads, it goes into the general taxation pot.

National routes such as motorways are paid for out of the general taxation pot.

Local roads, used by cyclists and horse riders are paid for by the local councils, via the council tax that everyone pays.

Hope that explains things for you

"Why do cyclists and horses clog up the roads but pay no tax "

Because they were there before cars and have a legal right to be there. Unlike motorists they don't even need a licence.

I'm a cyclist and I do pay tax? Including on my car. Which is a lot less than yo because I don't drive a ridiculously uneconomical car with a massive engine. Oh and vehicle excise duty, well the clue I'd in the name and it's nothing to do with roads and everything to do with the vehicle.

And we don't clog up roads, cars do. But I fear trying to explain that to you would be futile.

Because it’s an emissions tax, bikes don’t produce any. This bit might be hard for you to understand, but if everyone on a bike was in a car the roads would be even more clogged up, because get this, cars are bigger than bikes.

In the same way that you have no respect for cyclists and horseriders?

Respect is a 2 way street. I guess when you view other road users as holding you up and think they shouldn't be on the road it's easy to decide that they uniformly have no respect for you. It doesn't mean that have similar disdain for all motorists though

"What’s wrong with working hard and getting the things you want I make sacrifices

100%. Haters=jealous

I just don't think a rant about a CHOICE deserves sympathy.

The guy's proud of his car, he's using it to his advantage if he can to project a comfortable lifestyle. It's a sporty car so he's also projecting an element of danger, a risk taker. The reason for the thread, being a complaint about heavy tax considering the price of the "weekend" car he owns, might have been made tongue in cheek or to show off. The thread bombed either way but that's the natural order of things, people will rally round and troop together to slap away any contentious or stupid thread or comment and the OP with it. It's no drama whichever way it is, haters gonna hate and bators gonna bate lol I'm calling you a maserbator but purely out of jealousy OP

Personally I think you should sell it and buy a sporty classic and pay classic insurance and maybe get classic car road tax exemption

Nothing is wrong, they're just jealous of your success.
