I wouldn't mind paying Excise tax.. if the roads weren't tearing my car to pieces

[DS1]

we already pay all sorts of gasoline tax, and then there's another percentage to cough up - for what?

Our roads are shite!

1. We need to have excise taxes based upon the WEIGHT of the vehicle, not just the VALUE.

Heavy cars cause more damage to the roads.

2. I can go with that

My first payment was 600 something, not its 50 bucks, but it's the same wheels on the road

3. ...

I like they have that law that states it's not the Commonwealth's fault if your car is damaged by the roads.

It's like putting up a sign on my car that says, "I'm not responsible if I get in an accident because I have a sign here."

Such garbage...

If they pull the "it's the taxpayer's road" defense, then why can we not drive say 90 miles an hour on the highway?
