Abolish 'Road Tax' as it's popularly termed, and replace it with a levy on fuel.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Treat motorists fairly, in tax terms, according to the mileage they cover.

'Road Tax' as it's popularly called, is obsolete. If I take a restuarant meal, do I pay the same no matter what I eat? Of course not, it depends on my menu choices. A motorist covering a low annual mileage currently pays the same 'road tax' as another motorist driving a similar car but who covers a huge mileage. How can this possibly be considered fair, right and just?
