Taxing issue

IT HAS been reported that a lot of speed cameras are to stop operating because of cost.

Can anyone say what money the Government receives from road tax? It must be trillions. And what happens to it... does it help councils to fund speed cameras?

When I drive on main roads or the motorways I look at all the traffic, and wonder just how much is paid each year – and what is it used for.

I bet a lot of other people would also be interested. It’s something that is kept quiet.
