ROAD TAX DOES NOT PAY FOR ROADS, WE ALL DOThe majority of adult cyclists own cars. Hence they pay Vehicle Excise Duty, known, inaccurately, as road tax. In the 1920s, Winston Churchill started the process to abolish this tax. He didn't want motorists to think a token payment gave them "ownership" of the road. Road tax finally died in 1936. The Road Fund (1909-36) only ever paid for national roads, never local ones. VED doesn't pay for the roads, general and local taxation does that. Paying VED gives no "right to the road" for motorists (or car-owning cyclists). iPayRoadTax.com products help spread news about what has become a movement.
