danot Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 But zero emission vehicles aren't taxed either and they are allowed to use the roads - so it clearly isn't a road tax.That was just something the government introduced as an incentive to encourage more motorists to turn to zero emission vehicles, which incidentally, can't have been much of an incentive seeing as 99.99% of motorists still don't own one.

Obelix Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 But it is specifically motorists who are required to pay the "tax that is not a road tax" in order to be granted permission to drive their vehicle on the roads that are no longer taxed, as we have already established in my post that you've quoted below. It's road tax. Paid by those of us that are granted permission to use them. Have you been granted permission? If so, what point are you trying to make here? That would be the Highways Act 1980, and the reams of precedent in Common Law I guess.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yes, that would be 'some vehicles'. Not 'some roads'. I'm not sure why we're engaged in this because we both know what's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
