I got a letter in the post this morning to say that my new driving license should arrive within 2 weeks. I also received another letter at the same time with my new license. Why are we paying so much for road tax?

It's an automated system unfortunately which is why you'll get silly letters through. Also no one pays road tax, it's vehicle exercise duty. Quite a significant difference between the 2.

If no-one pays road tax then how come it says tax on both the DVLA website and a V11 reminder? Call it what you want. Its still a tax. Its used to fund public services.

Because no one pays tax to use the road. Otherwise cyclists and horse riders would be charged. It's usually referred to as vehicle tax as it's based on the vehicle emissions.
