When will the cretins in Westminster get their act together and charge road funding as a proportion of road useage?
That way all of the non-UK traffic that causes wear and tear to our roads helps pay for them. How far can you drive in France without contributing to their road network?
I had an interesting discussion with the head of a County Highways department (I will not divulge which county to protect their innocence!) who claimed that only around 1/35th of what is raised from the motorist is invested in the road infrastructure anyway. 
Disclaimer - I have no evidence to confirm this but it is what I was told by this particular government representative.
Rant over... For today at least!  |
Why is your road tax so much? I need to do mine but its £290...? Agree with it being annoying when car isn't used much though
