    In India we have road tax. Many years ago they realised people don’t pay it every year and it was hard to track with the size of the population I suppose so they just charge you 10 years worth of road tax upfront when you buy a car and no other road tax payments after that.

    Of course, our roads mostly suck although it’s a bit better nowadays and most of the road construction money finds a home in many pockets along the way before finally reaching a road.
