It's what you have to pay every year to legally drive a motorized vehicle on a public highway. Just because they like to change what they call it every few years makes it no less of a tax. ETA If I was a pedant it could be more accurately described as a CS pension payment because it's certainly not spent on the roads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe officially, but over a few short years it's been called car tax, road tax, road fund license, vehicle license, vehicle excise duty and probably a few others I've forgotten!

Let's just call it what it has been called for 81 years. That would seem to be the simplest and best option. But crack on with whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Everyone knows what it means though, and just going 'there's no such thing' as if you're some kind of funny genius simply shows you up as a buffoon. Who was it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
