We have a productivity failing in this country, so we need people to work more. Government solution: increase tax on work and increase benefits for those that don't work.
Want more people to drive EVs. Great, let's increase the tax on them.

Regardless of this particular policy, I'm amazed that this government really cannot see the link between taxation and (dis)incentivising people to do things.

Gilson Lavis (74). Drummer for Squeeze, Jools Holland's big band and about a hundred other shows/bands.
He also played my 6th form leavers' ball alongside Mike D'Abo and a couple of other famous names - the highlight of his career I'm sure  |

They can monitor "Genuine" mileage through the MOT.All new cars are connected, so they might mandate it updates the mileage every month/3 months whatever. Obviously that brings privacy concerns, so it'll all get delayed a decade, and you've tanked EV sales even further.... |

That was a real beauty, seeing that made me regret even more selling mine.

All slats and spoilers do is change the shape of the wing as required to maximise lift/reduce drag at any given airspeed. Note that drag is not the opposite of lift.You say that as if they are insignificant. The significant thing they do is to reduce the stall speed of the wing so that the aircraft can operate at the lower airspeeds used during approach and the initial climb.That can come at a significant cost in terms of drag too with some configurations, but that is actually an advantage on approach, because you need to be able to shed energy and the engines are kept at a higher thrust setting and can respond faster if a go-around is initiated. |

https://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=151838.0 Its OK, we can have two discussions about pay per mile.  The threads are bound to go off on a tangent anyway. Did I say I like Bev?    |
