The most damaging motoring Budget in decades has landed. And after a few days to think, the whole thing looks even worse
If you thought Pay-Per-Mile was “fair” or “inevitable”, you’re missing the biggest automotive disaster heading straight for Britain. I’ve had a few days to calm down after the Chancellor dropped the motoring equivalent of a tactical nuke into the nation’s glovebox with the Autumn 2025 Budget. But I haven’t calmed down. I’ve got angrier, more frustrated, and more convinced this Budget could cripple the UK car industry, humiliate disabled drivers, and utterly suffocate car culture. This isn’t a minor tweak. This is the start of a crisis.
