My take on the issue entirely Artic. That was how it was at the start of the 70's when I became a VED payer.

Where is the money being spent it's not on the road that's for sure, the fairest way is add it to the fuel the more you use your car the more road tax you pay, and for Electric cars straight £100 per year

How much more simple can it be ?

When i started driving the road tax was for ongoing roads upkeep by and large, not based on what comes out of your exhaust tailpipe. It seem from what i have read,be that information correct or not , that the bulk of the road tax collected goes towards new road projects. Leaving local authorities with the job of funding the bulk of the costs for road repairs . So up goes your council tax yet again ..
