Rejected petition Place a hold on road tax until the roads are restored to a safe quality
The government should place a hold on road tax, until actions are taken to ensure roads are of a safe and fit for use standard. The roads in the UK, are incredibly unsafe, causing damage to cars along with causing a risk of like to motorbike ridersUntil the roads are safe road tax should be paused
More details
The standard of UK roads currently imposes a risk of damage to cars and a risk if life altering or ending accidents for motorbike riders, to expect road tax payments for roads that are completely unfit for use is simply a disgusting show of money befor the actual safety of UK residents. If 80 million pounds can hw found to refurbish Big ben, that was not in a detrimental state, and posed no urgent risk of life to UK residents, then the roads should be refurbished also.
