Cut road tax as the roads are not road worthy hight cost in repairs.
Road tax should be cut because our roads are full of potholes that make them unsafe and unfit to drive on. Drivers pay high fees yet face costly repairs to tyres, wheels, and suspension caused by poor maintenance. Cut tax.

Background
We want the government to take urgent action on the state of our roads. Potholes are causing accidents, damaging vehicles, and putting lives at risk. Cyclists and motorcyclists are especially vulnerable, with many suffering serious injuries after hitting deep craters. Drivers are left paying hundreds, sometimes thousands, in repairs for tyres, alloys, suspension, and tracking. Insurance premiums also rise as claims increase. We pay road tax and expect safe, properly maintained roads. It is time for proper funding, accountability, and long-term repairs.
