Motorists who manage to save money by purchasing cheap car parts online may agree the financial burdens placed on road users by the government need to be addressed.

The Association of British Drivers (ABD) has welcomed a Commons’ Transport Committee (Transcom) report that has looked at the way vehicle owners contribute to the UK economy.

Entitled Taxes and Charges on Road Users, the publication suggests people should pay based on the frequency with which they get behind the wheel, rather than for simply being in possession of an auto.

ABD agreed with this and stated taxes like fuel duty are fairer than those attached to vehicle ownership.

Spokesman Nigel Humphries commented: "Many sections of the Transcom report could have been lifted from … [our] website and press releases."

Meanwhile, motorists who were planning to trade in their current auto may find they can keep it running smoothly for a few more years and cut costs by simply replacing any worn car parts instead.
