All the food and goods they buy in stores are trucked in, so they benefit from roads and road repairs.
Therefore all taxpayers should contribute to road maintenance, not just those with auto insurance.
Bad public policy to divert MPI profits to roads and maintenance IMO.

i Disagree. The roads already exist. There is no additional benefit to non drivers if the road is smooth vs if it is bumpy. The delivery trucks arrive, maybe 10 minutes later than the could. On a 14 hour drive from Calgary the 10minute delay is less than the variance from rush hour, but for a significant cost increase.
