Posting links to Government sites doesn't disprove that "the man in the street, the Police, the media - all understand the exact meaning of the term 'Road Tax' " does it? I realise you are in denial and that the term 'Road Tax' makes you feel guilty about being a sponging freeloader, but thats your problem. -- Dave - The Tax Paying Motorist

See PC Plod telling Janet she can't use her shiny new car on the road without Road Tax. See Janet buy a Tax Disc. Now Janet can use her shiny new car on the road.
