Half his car should have been taxed? WTF!?
Explanation of what car tax is - it’s called the road fund license and you need to renew this each year or you are in for a heavy fine or losing your car. The costs vary you will have to read this link.
A man has sawn his car in half with an angle-grinder in protest at it being clamped outside his home.
Ian Taylor, from Tredworth, Glos, said the untaxed Ford Fiesta was parked on his drive with only part of a rear wheel poking out on to the pavement.
The 40-year-old builder said the vehicle was going to be scrapped anyway, but he wanted to make a point.
A spokesman for NCP Services said half of the car was parked on the road and should therefore have been taxed.

The road fund licence was supposed to be used to - build and maintain roads! It was a brilliant idea. Like, those who use em, pay for em, Muse.
But, the British government being the British government - made it into another government revenue source.
Basically with the CO2 rubbish - it is if you have a larger car you pay more - but they don’t want to piss off the middle-class who buys these things, a tank to get little Johnny and Sarah to school, so they say that you pay more because your car pollutes more - which sits better with them.
Brain fog doesn’t come into it, Muse LOL .
