While Taking Driving Lessons Make Sure Your Driving Instructor's Car Has Road Tax - Lets Explain

While taking your driving lessons you must make sure your driving instructors vehicle you are taking driving lessons in is taxed. This road tax should be in every vehicle on the road unless it's exempt for certain reasons.

Road tax in the past was calculated by your engine size, but times have changed and now the concerns for the environment are escalating, road tax is now mainly calculated by the amount of CO2 emission levels your car pumps out.

Some driving schools try to use more economical cars to save the environment, as well as to save you money when taking driving lessons. This also lowers the CO2 emissions and reduces the amount of road tax you will have to pay.

You can see your cars CO2 emissions by just simply referring to the logbook and looking for CO2 emissions. Brackets are different for both new and used cars, however similarities between them are:

* They both range from band A-M

* They are both calculated on CO2 emissions

Having a used car can be just as beneficial as having a new car when it comes to paying road tax, however the older cars have to be higher up in the bands to pay the same as the newer cars normally.

Just make sure that after finishing your driving lessons that when buying your first car you need to look at how expensive it is going to be to tax.

Whether it is going to be in the lower bands or the upper bands, plus whether you can in fact afford to tax it. If you have any further queries about road tax then I'm sure while taking driving lessons your instructors will be happy to answer them, if they can't then ring up the Driver Vehicle and Licensing Agency and they should help you with any questions.

Although buying road tax is not something that any of us want to do someone has to pay for the maintenance of the roads we drive on and rightly so if we are the people driving on them then we have to pay for it.

Normally year on year car tax does rise whether you are driving instructors, lorry drivers or whoever you may be if you are driving most vehicles on our roads you will need to contribute towards the cost of our roads on a regular basis. It's like any tax nobody enjoys paying for it but someone has to.

I hope this article has increased your knowledge of road tax while taking your driving lessons.
