>It should surely be related to how many drivers in the household?
Taking a look at three adjacent houses in our close.
An older couple who moved in about a year ago who we've nicknamed "the drug dealers". They have a top of the range Merc CLS and Range Rover but do very little mileage because they hardly ever move off their driveway.
Next door to them is a middle-aged couple with two young boys at a private school about ten miles away. Dad sets off for work at 6am each morning in a VW Polo and gets home around 6pm. Mum works from home and does the school run in an F-Pace which is also the family car.
The next house along is a house-share by three guys and one girl. I guess they're in their 20s. They have two Fiestas, a Focus and a Civic between them. Two of them work shifts at the local hospital, one of them seems to work regular 9 to 5 hours but is away many weekends with the Territorial Army. No idea what the remaining guy does during the day but he also has an evening job.
Which one deserves "punitive taxation" for multiple car ownership?
