Sorry. "VED has not been predicated to pay for roads for many years, although this may change in the near future." Better?
More of the 'I pay for the roads' comments depends on motorists being aware of the changes. Given how many think of VED as a road tax, despite it changing 78 years ago, I don't hold out much hope for that!
For many drivers I come across being aware of anything in the world outside their steel boxes would be a novelty.
Substitute will for may and I'll accept your new version.
One thing that's occurred to me is that this change could be a crafty way to cut the roads budget still further. If the funding for roads came exclusively from VED then as far as I'm aware that would be a huge cut in the roads budget! (I'm open to correction on that as I can't find figures that are better than 6 years out of date)
