Saxon, we have road tax here in the UK and whilst I agree with you about its efficacy and functionality, we are having all sorts of fun over here as the government repeatedly are saying how they want to charge tolls on motorways (that is freeways to you north americans) and the public are gobbing off about how it is another sort of stealth tax etc....

I agree, I always keep cash at home, you never know when the proverbial fecal matter will hit the domestic air impeller unit and a stash of cash is the next best thing to a marine battalion in a tight situation. I kept quite a bit of cash at home until I found out that the current Mrs Gt had found the stash and had been spending it (she claimed it was housekeeping and she earns more than me the trout)..
