Hazy, that's a good point about what percentage of Road Tax is spent on roads. We would assume that by calling it 'road tax' that it would be for the upkeep of the roads we drive on, but according my brother, all tax is pooled in to the one pot, so it doesn't necessarily go on roads.
I disagree about the unexpected weather though. We've had hard winters for the past 4 years, so if I expected a bad winter, I don't see why the councils didn't.

It was originally called The Road Fund License, and was still called that when I started driving in the early seventies.

It's still called that if you're within earshot of my dad.
