Done ..... they really haven't thought htis one through ... what about all the people who drive for a living?

What about all those people who live in places where there is no alternative (my family until a couple of years ago for example)??

What do they think they will achieve???

If they want to limit traffic and improve road safety stop giving driving licences to idiots!!!!

Every day is a school day ...........

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Wankers.

I'm totally fed up with this countrys road situation. I've been driving for over ten years and had a clean license until this month when I have collected a lovelly 6 points and £120 fine just in time for christmas. I wouldnt mind if I had been driving dangerously or at excessive speed, but I was doing neither, its just another ploy to rape in some cash for the arseholes.

Unless of course your an illegal imigrant with no license/tax/insurance and be drunk.... then you can knock over and kill a child and just get a smacked wrist.

Like the murphys... Im not bitter.


Petition signed.

I don't want to get into this, for one I believe petitions to be a massive waste of time, but mainly because something has to be done and with this proposal at least the govenment are being brave and PROPOSING (that is all it is) something radical to try and solve the problem. If something like this can make people think twice before driving their children to school, using the car to go to the corner shop or going to work round the corner then it can only be a good thing. The proposal aims to keep the average driver paying the same and taxing the big users and those who use the roads at peak times in busy areas.

Can you think of a better idea. And don't say put more tax on fuel. This is not dependant on where or when you use your car so is in essance an unfair tax compared to the tracking system.

I am broadly not in favour of this proposal, but there has to be ballance to the argument and until there is a soloution to the problem the road are just going to get worse and worse. Ideas like this need to be discussed and developed not blanket refuse without looking at the results of trials and how it will speciffically affect you.

well ben we could disscuss this for ever and a day. and i do agree something should be done, BUT, from MY personal point of view is that i live in liverpool and work in manchester (35 miles one way) ill be honest in saying im only a mere mechanic and aint on alot of money, especially compared to most comuters. i travel that far as its a good, job with ok money for the trade and i like working there. now if a milage charge comes into force id almost surely have to get a new job in liverpool ( which wouldnt be a problem, but ive never found one thats pays the same as the one ive got now) so basically id have to make big cut backs, but mr rep or finance manager etc who comutes could afford to pay more, i dont think thats fare. i know its just little old me but it seems what ever comes into force just effects the lower end of the working class.

imho i think to get people off the roads public transport is the answer. id happily leave my car at home and go on the train if it were possible, but it simply isnt. (really it isnt ive looked into it and is way to expensive and unreliable).


oh if toyota prius is exempt from the charge i could get one of them but cant tow me mini with one
