Just went and bought my new licence. I paydisability rate for my licence. I think this is still cheap even though its gone up from £12.50 last year (and the year before that).

I was wondering, where does this licence money go?

Could some one please tell me why the old and disabled have had their licence increased the most.

The only people the Environment Agency serve are themselves.
