Road Tax in America?

[team underdog]

"What?!" I hear you thinking...

Im doing my dissertation on hybrid electric vehicles and was trying to find out any info about car tax in america, to no avail as yet.

Does anyone know if the US charges annual road tax like here in the Uk? If you can shed any light it would be a big help!

Ps. I realise that im likely to attract some piss taking for posting this thread, but if you could answer the question THEN take the piss, that would also be a big help!

Pps. piss taking optional

It seems they do charge - Motor Vehicle Excise Tax at about 2%-3% of a vehicle's depreciated value. A google for MVET might shed some light. HTH

You legend, thanks very much!

Quite telling that US road tax has nothing to do with emissions and/or size of car...

Found this at:

"Those listed below qualify for an exemption.

Blind:
permanent impairment of vision in both eyes
must own and register for their own personal use
must submit either a certificate from the Division of the Blind or a physician's letter"

Im hoping they dont allow blind people loose behind the wheel in the US!!
