Re: Road-tolls Downing Street Website

This may cause a bit of controversy.. BUT!.... I think that Road Tolls arent a bad idea in Principle.. Its is just the way they are planning on doing it as an Extra tax that is wrong..
I think they should do away with Road tax completely and then charge you for using the Roads..
My reason for thinking this is That everyone is charged the same Tax no matter how often or how far they drive... Reps , lorry Companies etc use the roads all the time covering hundreds of miles. But a lot of people may only use their car once or twice a week only going small distances most of the time. If they had to pay tolls and possibly higher Fuel prices, they would pay for amount of driving they were doing.... Surely a fairer way of doing it...(PAY FOR WHAT YOU USE)

This is only my view
