Contrary to common belief, road tax is nothing to do with maintaining the roads - it all goes in to the general pot for schools, hospitals and MP's second homes.  :?

It used to be "Road Fund Licence", which did pay for the roads, but not any more :(

Yep, Road Tax is the old name for what is now known as V E D (Vehicle Excise Duty).
