Road Fund Licence

I renewed my Road Fund Licence online today and as expected it said I will not get a licence to display anymore.

I feel cheated as before at least I got something for my money now it seems the government just wants my money and doesn't want to give anything in return.

    You get the ability to use that car on the road legally. What more do you want?

    Strictly speaking, no you didn't. You renewed your Vehicle Excise Duty.

    You were cheated - The Road Fund Licence was abolished in 1936!

    There are many ways to drive a car utterly legally without paying for VED.
