The massive over-dependence on cars means that motorists feel strongly about where their motor taxation revenue goes. Most of them are of the view that 100% goes towards the upkeep of county roads, although we know that is not the case. County roads are extremely under-funded. The latter is also increasingly the case with local authorities. Motorists will become increasingly angry when the increased motor taxation they are paying out will not be matched by any great improvement in the roads on which they travel.
