early signs of a recession

But we still see newly registered vehicles like big SUVs that only the rich can afford, on the roads which means only the middle and low income people were affected by the increase in duties.

What was the percentage of increase of vehicles imported on permits ? I'm sure its more than 50% increase and not a decline.

Sri Lanka being such a small country, do we need all these vehicles all the roads ?

Import taxes has to be raised even further, may be by another 75%, to reduce vehicle imports. Our roads are already congested to the maximum. So until road infrastructure problems are sorted out its better to control vehicle imports to the maximum.

Every Montero Sport and Kia Sorento we see on the road are duty free vehicles... how can a government servant can afford to buy these even at a duty free cost? All permits have been sold to rich people...

imposing news taxes don't ease road congestion or reduce oil import. Must forbid old ( more than 10 years) cars, trucks, buses, 3wheels because they block circulation when they're brocked, and they also make most pollution with there old motors and are dangerous for anyone on the road

1. First improve the public transport system.
2. Get the non-roadworthy vehicles like those old lorries and buses off the roads.
3. Limit MP's back-up and escort vehicles
4. Introduce a CBD tax like in Singapore to restrict vehicles entering the city during peak times.
5. Shift Govt offices out of the city......
