You raise a good point though. Perhaps roads should be maintained through the local and federal taxes instead of being an additional tax at the pump. Owners of electric vehicles get to dodge their share of maintaining the roads altogether.

In my city, a portion of their income goes to road maintenance. I'm sure there's some that comes from the county and state as well.
I am in strong favor of traffic enforcement and penalties for EVERYONE who breaks traffic laws. Unfortunately, bicyclists all too often get a free pass, and it makes all of us look bad.
When I caught this guy on my dashcam, I wanted to chase him down and slap him upside his head.
