I note that my car ved is going from £165 to £180, in round figures about 10 percent.

Ditto, although mine's in the older and higher grouping (H), going from £265 to £290. Al for doing about 2,000 miles a year. I remember paying £150 when I bought it new 17 years ago.

Rather like paying my TV licence next week in order just to watch The Sky at Night (normally 8 episode of 30 mins a year), which apparently is under the threat of axing again and not on the air.

Isn't life woinderful at the moment?

Glad I renewed mine the day before the Budget

Remember when the increase in ved was ringfenced to be spent on the roads from 2020..?, we should all be driving on billiard table smooth roads by now…lol..
