Road Tax? We All Pay For The Roads

Sad to see so many people here bandying the term "road tax" despite it having been phased out in 1937. The little disc in your car is Vehicle Excise Duty and the proceeds go into the general tax pot. The cost of roads is greater than the income from vehicle excise duty and is funded from income tax and council tax. Paying for your tax disc has no associated ownership of the roads, people with no car subsidise the roads for drivers.
