Keep the current car tax bands the same unless it's a gas guzzler
I understand that prices go up but for them in some circumstances are going up by more than double. This means that people who already just about get by will now struggle even more so with the hike in prices.
Cars currently being sold are being purchased by most people who are trying to keep the cost down by purchasing cars with a low tax band e.g a car that currently cost between £0 and £30 a year will now either be free or £140 a year. This is a big increase from what people have agreed to when they made the car purchase. With this increase it will put people's lively hood in danger of being unable to afford the running of the vehicle or increase the chances of being fined.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure how you'd like the Government to define a "gas guzzler". You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
