UK. How much motoring tax actually gets spent transport

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

20p for every £1 collected, and that is embarrassingly low compared to
other countries. :angry:

I guess it doesn't help that the UK needs to spend billions housing
illegal immigrants for free, having them run riots and burn down
detention centres, then end up suing us for the privilege. Oh how they
must laugh themselves stupid over us....
