I doubt roads pay their way either even after road and fuel tax have been
taken into account. The M25 widening alone is costing over Â£100 million a year.

Fuel Duty alone is 28 billion, and that doesn't include the 5.6bn VAT on
duty. VED is another (roughly) £6bn.

Plus the VAT on spare parts and service charges, plus the
surcharge on insurance premiums which George Osborne
increased to 9%.
