If I were to eat an electric car in the UK would I be liable for road tax?

DAVID

I've bought a Kia electric car and it has stopped working. No one wants to buy it and the price to scrap it is too high. If I were to melt it down and then devour the automobile would I still be liable for road tax during the period of time it is in my digestive system. I have checked all government websites and there is a distinct lack of information on this matter.

Answer
Not likely, as the Kia electric car was just recently announced, and is not for sale yet.

He survived this fine, so you should be able to eat an EV and survive. Story below:
