Starting April 1, new car tax changes will significantly impact petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicle owners in the UK, making ownership untenable for many and prompting a dramatic u-turn in driver attitudes. Despite initial resistance and a government delay, the implementation of these rules seems imminent. Additionally, the introduction of strict new parking regulations will see UK drivers facing a £70 fee to park outside their own homes, with new motorway rules leaving cars as 'sitting ducks' and generating massive costs for parking at work. Amidst these financial pressures, there's a discussion about reducing VAT rates for drivers of certain vehicles who may be disproportionately affected. Furthermore, the new regulations include an increase in MOT test prices, which could rise to £372 due to escalating car repair costs, and the implementation of new Highway Code rules, which have been criticized for potentially making roads more dangerous. Drivers with certain cars also face higher petrol and diesel prices at Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's.
