Excise taxes usually go into the general fund, not necessarily for roads. But regardless, most riders on the roads have cars and certainly do pay excise, license and registration taxes already. I know I sure do.

As for penalties, bikes generally have to follow the same rules as cars and can be hit with the same fines. It's just that the police aren't usually targeting them.
