Letter: It is commonly known as road tax for a reason

Published 16 July 2025

From John Bailey, Blackwater, Hampshire, UK

I take issue with Ronald Watts’s interpretation, in the debate about how to deter car use, of what parking charges are. I pay a tax to the UK government to put a motor vehicle on the public highway(Letters, 28 June). Why would my payment apply only when my car is moving?
