Nope. You pay road tax.


There hasn't been a Road Fund Licence for many years. It's Vehicle Excise
Duty and simply goes into the national bottomless taxation pit.

If you add up the amount of money that Mr Average Motorist spends on
fuel each year, the road fund licence is a drop in the tank.


It is still tax that should not be there. It costs to collect and
enforce. Totally unnecessary.


It allows an annual check of insurance and MOT (where needed) It keeps the
database of who owns what up to date. So the tax comes at little or no
collection costs, as this would still need to me maintained without it.
