There's a very obvious politiocal answer to that, but let's not go theremr spanton":19v9qnyt said:And any way why would the governmnt need to track every vehicle at all times :shock: That is just far out weird and wacky :roll:
mr spanton":230glceh said:Thats all very well from your perspective in London where you got decent regular buses/underground train's/cycle lanes and it IS possibly just feasible to do without a car etc
but what about in scenario's where folk live in rural places where theres no commercial gain in laying on more buses etc and getting to places means having to go by car?
Is it fair and reasonable to expect rural drivers to have to pay for journey's if theres no alternative like what you are fortunate to have in London?
Tell us Jake on whati basis should roads (or at least free access to roads) be rationed if its a good idea? Should it just be the drivers who can afford it and everyone else be doomed to stay indoors, or should it be some other method?
I am still not convinced that there is any reason for road charges other than raising yet more tax revenues to finance the wage and pension bill of the ever increasing army of civil servants. We already pay road fund tax and fuel duty which are already too high without the added burden of a road charge on top.
