You could say that about plenty of taxes - nobody has to work, do they? Or
drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco? So "the vast majority of taxes" is a bit of
an overstatement, isn't it?

 

Well, I suppose you could count say that its your choice if you live or not.
So all tax is choice. We'll never hear you moaning about taxes again
then.
Good.

No, thankfully no one has ever forced me to.

none of those start in "mo".

and the reason the government know they can pile on car taxes is
that the vast majority will not give up their cars.

 

What, exactly, is it you're saying is so bad? You want to run a
motorised vehicle(s) but don't think you should pay road tax? OK Fine,
than you'll just have to pay it elsewhere. Oh, the motorist is paying
far more than is pushed back into road building and maintenance? Well,
are these the only facilitites you use, and the only ones that are
even slightly affected by cars on the road?

Some other countries pay an even higher amount than you do - over
£200/year for my volvo and slightly less for my wife's little peugeot,
although the bike is, IIRC, cheaper than the UK at around £45/year.

 

I'm not so sure about the "will" in your statement. You won't find
many people if any who will travel perhaps miles by some other form of
transport (walk, bike, bus) to a cold wet railway station, for
example to wait for a train that might or might not have been
cancelled, or wait in a bus queue in the pouring rain (which we get a
lot of in the UK*) rather than travel by car. It would take something
of a loony to give up a warm air conditioned car for that.

* its said in jest that the Icelanders have 13 different words for
snow. How many words do the British have for rain?
