so, your route to work is one of these roads....call it 2 quid a day, 5 day working week that gives u 10 quid just to get to work, so who funds it ? yhe boss wont so what you going do ? quit...go on the doel and let the goverment pay you for sitting down and doing nuffin

the school run....mums aint going pay, they move there kids to another school

housing market...no body going buy new houses cos the surrounding area is a charge area

public transport will get over run...and then prices will go up to fund for
new vehicles to expand there fleet

Probably not, have you heard about unisured, unlicend drivers. They might not be able to afford to drive but that just means they won't pay rather than not drive.


My biggest fear/problem with the whole thing of "pay as you go" roads is not whether its right or wrong, but how the heck are the goverment going to implemet it, chances are it will be an increadibly complex scheame they devised.

Mark my words, the simplest soulution are envitably the best, especially given the goverments track record of things like SFP and hospitals which they have just made more complex leading to inevitable failure.

The simplest solution is probbaly to just raise the tax on fuel (particuarly fossil fuels) and drop the price of road tax. This is as simple as it could get. It makes owning a car cheap (therefore not denying anyone the privalige) whalst making them pay accordingly for their use. The amount you pay would be relative to the amount of fuel your used which would be relavtie to the emission you car would generate. whalst also being proportional to the amount of congestition generated. I could go on......

As i say there is no way the british govement would ever do the simplest thing because they might actually work :evil:, or because that even if it messes up its still financially in their favour and that all that matters anyway.

Don't you worry, the government I have heard as we speak, are setting up a canal congestion investigation department.
Apparently the larger your snorkel, the higher the tax  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
