Only slight problem with the petition is I don't think it's officially called road tax - it's a vehicle license tax, but hey - worth a punt :P

True enough - couldn't remember the precise name for it. The point is the tax has nothing to do with roads - as stated in a 2013 study...
Although historically the road fund tax was considered a hypothecated tax to pay for the building and maintenance of the road network, this has not been so since 1937 and it is now a general revenue raising tax.
