It's a road use tax, not a pollution tax.

You jest! But in my immediate vicinity there are quite a few Mennonites, some of whom run farm equipment with steel 'tires' instead of rubber tires. (There is heaps of weird little technology-based segmentation among Mennonites, for those who may not know). When they drive that equipment over paved roads, the roads get chewed up pretty badly. Harken back to studded snow tires. One local town has taken to banning them from the roads due to the damage they inflict.
Now back to the tax rant.
