Sigh. NO-ONE PAYS (directly) FOR THE ROADS.

It all comes from that magic money tree then?


Just because there is no specific road fund does not mean the roads
aren't paid for with money raised by taxation.

An analogy of the situation I heard was that all taxes are just put into
ONE pile any and all moneys needed
(subject to budgets, that money existing etc)are taken from this pile .
There are NO specific piles paid
into by specific taxes.

Quite. So why are cyclists exempt from paying tax on that activity while
other road users ain't?
