Government statistics showed that it raised £4.4billion in 2004-05 from taxes on cars, light vans and taxis. When other vehicles were taken into account, that figure rose to £4.7billion. When a further £23billion in fuel taxes was added, the revenue generated soared to £28billion.

Today, the figure is even higher. The total tax collected from road users in Britain now stands at some £44billion, according to figures from the AA.

The amount returned to motorists through road schemes is just £7billion!!!!!!!!!
