I'm dreading when need to renew  :sick:

Non of it is spent on the roads, marely a tax based on vehicle emmissions. I wouldn't mind if some was directly going into a fund for improving road conditions fixing potholes.

It's because the country is in a 3rd recession, and there are more and more cars on the roads plus its a price we have to pay for having powerful cars
