In the UK, no one pays road tax as it was abolished in 1937. The current vehicle tax system, often mistakenly referred to as 'road tax', is Vehicle Excise Duty (V.E.D.). Unlike the abolished road tax system, VED does not primarily contribute to the maintenance of road networks.
VED is a tax on a motor vehicle's emission rate of carbon dioxide, therefore bicycles are exempt for two reasons: 1) they are not motor vehicles. 2) they do not emit carbon dioxide.
That's not to say cyclists don't pay VED - surveys show nearly 90% of cyclists also own a car.

Why do so many drivers refuse to treat cyclists the SAME as drivers?
Usually because they feel unproportionally angry about having to share the road with a slower vehicle. Many are under the impression that car drivers have better reasons for being on the roads, while cyclists are seen as doing it "for fun". So it's "Me, doing something I HAVE to do, being held up by YOU, who are out PLAYING" Many are also quite delusional about what actually pays for roads and road upkeep, believeing that as car drivers, they pay some sort of "road tax" which cyclists don't. And if you're not paying, you're not sharing. Usually this isn't how it works, and even if it did, the wear and tear caused by cyclists is so much smaller than that caused by cars etc to make the comparison quite ridiculous.
