Complaining a tax hits the working man more than the rich is pointless here because it's about improving the environment and rich people are in the minority.
I still think the only effective way to reduce car usage is to hike fuel tax, if it costs more people will travel less. It will be painful and there won't be an overnight change but as people are driven onto public transport and bikes the infrastructure will change. Unfortunately I think this needs to be Europe wide as no individual government will have the balls to upset the polluting majority.
Oh and scrap the completely backward vehicle scrappage scheme, why introduce such an enviromentally unfriendly scheme in the first place?
