which goes into pothole repairs caused by car and lorry drivers,

Caused almost entire by trucks or the road giving way where the pothole is.

repairs to road signs that have been bent by car drivers,

Most bent by vandals.

speed humps. parking bays, speed limits signs (waste of money)

And the fuel tax much more than pays for the roads.
