Private vehicular taxation is really unjust when done in this way. Not everyone has the same usage patterns.
For example, I commute by bicycle. I would love to have a street legal van, in the eventuality that I want to move something bulky. I would use it once a month at most. Probably less. But I would have to pay thousands of Euros of road taxes just to own a street legal vehicle that is parked in my own garage. Why? Fuel is already taxed a lot to limit usage. Parking permits in cities are expensive to prohibit ownership and congestion. Why am I being taxed, exactly?
BTW, I know this is not a road tax in the article but same nonsense of assuming that ownership is the same as usage.
