Vehicles also have to be fully tested if over 3 years old, fully taxed, have to pay for permits to park, have to pay to park, pay huge amounts of tax on fuel, pay tax on the insurance. Without that income, roads and most other forms of public transport would not be sustainable, not would many of the other things that the state infrastructure provides and that includes most aspects.And it is more than obvious that all that revenue generated from vehicles does not go back into the road network which is woefully poor from pavements and safe cycling surfaces to a properly joined up network.
