Good to see I'm not the only rail-fan here!
There seems to be a policy of taxing motorists heavily in order to get more money for the treasury... er.. sorry, my mistake.... in order to discorage them from using their cars, vans and trucks. The situation was summed up a while ago in 'Rail' magazine- in an editorial, the government was urged to "give us some alternatives before taxing us for not using them"
Hey, crash.. seems like I'm doing o.k. on emmisions since two of my cars are kits which are much lighter than their donors- and they're recycled!!
