It's a tax vehicles pay to use the road. If it was a road tax, then why don't some car drivers have to pay (legally) to use the road? So it's obviously not a *road tax*. |

Your speech is underneath." |

Exactly, knowlessmen call their vacuum cleaners Hoovers even though it is the incorrect term. Just like the unwashed call VED Road Tax. |
