I own one vehicle and I pay tax on one vehicle.  You own four vehicles but
pay tax on only three.  One of your vehicles is a freebee.

Let me clarify my point: *All other factors being equal*, a person with
one car and one bike pays less road tax than a person with two cars.  Both
people own two vehicles and both get the same rights and privileges on the
road with both their vehicles, but one pays less tax for equal privilege
than the other.
