I'm applying for a license soon but know nothing about car tax,I dont need a car at the moment so I'm starting to have second thoughts, my main priority in life is to move out my parents house, its hard to get a house in Britain these days so I was thinking about getting a motorhome but even that looks impossible.
What the hell am I supposed to do? I just want to move out so I can get some peace and quiet.
I got a scooter until I had a steady enough income to afford a car. In the UK you don't need a bike license to drive one up to 125cc, you just need to do a CBT course and slap L plates on it. Much cheaper.

Edit - Also need your provisional license though, but I'd definitely recommend getting your car license. Opens up much more stuff to you, work wise as well.
I could probably walk across your entire country in three hours at some point of it so I don't fucking know. Meanwhile in the US I have to drive 20 minutes to get to work so a car is a prerequisite to being a functioning adult.
It's great if you can afford it, mobility is great and it's best not being at the mercy of scheduling your life around bus schedules
Alternatively, you could look into finding a place that is close to where you want to work and bike there
Take into consideration the cost of parking, insurance, gas, menial car problems, possible tickets..
I live in the US and getting to work takes an hour on the bus rather than 20 by car
I deal with it since I literally cannot afford to have a car right now
However, I live close enough to school and grocery stores that I dont need a car at all except for work, and I only work weekends so its not so bad
Decide where youre going/how it would benefit you and weigh the pros and cons
Personally, I dont ever want to purchase a car until Ive graduated, financially stable and have my own place. But even then Im hoping Ill live close to my work so I can bike/bus there
