What do you propose?
Road taxes alone are insufficient anyway....

So we will need to lean on sales and income taxes anyway.
What do you propose? Ban EVs and double the gas tax? (see article)
Personally, I see the roads benefiting everyone. So EVERYONE should pay. Doesn't matter whether you drive a car at all. You live in a society that only functions because of roads. food, services, electricity etc. are all possible because roads exist.
So dump the petriol tax, and institute a person tax. Everyone pays a fee for the roads.
Nobody gets a free ride.
