High motor vehicle taxes are to compensate society for terrible disamenities motor vehicle use caused.
PMD use pavements to travel but are GREATLY INCONVENIENCED when people build expressways across their path resulting in the need to cross numerous high pedestrian bridges, deviate from original path to use crossings whilst breathing unhealthy motor vehicle fumes etc.
High COE and ROAD TAXES etc are to COMPENSATE pedestrians and cyclist for all the inconvenience caused by motorised vehicles which not only badly POLLUTE breathing air, but make PMD journeys more hot, sweaty, onerous then they were BEFORE motor vehicles appeared on the roads.
Fewer roads and parking lots also means more land for parks, footpaths and other social recreation/ exercise/ relaxation use to keep stratospheric health care costs down.
