Thread Name: BS: Older Drivers are Killers
Subject: RE: BS: Older Drivers are Killers
The tax paid by cars in both fuel duties and Road Tax goes mostly into the exchequer, and only about 15% of it is actually spent on building and maintaining roads. So to say your taxes help support road users is fatuous, it is fact the reverse that is true, and road users subsidise others.
As for the accidents caused by older people, why do insurance companies charge higher premiums for younger drivers?
