In reply to blackmountainbiker:
> No it doesn't because there's no such thing. Highways are paid for through general taxation (of which vehicle excise duty - which is what you meant - is a part of as we don't really hypothecate much in the U.K.) and council tax. And in our society you don't have a greater right to use the fruits of taxation just because you put more in. So your statement is wrong on every level I'm afraid. >
Road Tax, or if you insist on being precise, vehicle exise duty, even though everyone knows exactly what you mean by road tax, is a requirement to park on a public road (along with valid insurance). If your vehicle isn't SORNED it must be taxed (or should that be exised?) and then you can park it on any road you like which doesn't have restrictions, as per my original post.
Hypothecation of taxes is a complete red herring, I didn't mention anything about what taxes are used for because its irrelevant. The thread is about whether someone can park where you wanted to put a skip FFS. Why do you need to get so arsey over a simple post that certainly isn't "wrong on every level"?
