Surely the only fair way would be to tax vehicle use-the more you drive/ride the more you wear the road out! :lol This myth of "Road Tax" persists- its a vehicle tax since none of it is used to maintain the roads. The simplest way to achieve this would be extra duty on fuel-the more you drive-the more you pay. This in turn might encourage some drivers to rethink their car use-my own particular pet hate is the school run drivers who cause chaos around the local schools each weekday morning/afternoon in their whopping great kiddie carriers. Dont any kids walk anywhere anymore?
