London: Congestion Charge £25, £1,50 per mile Motorway charge...?

Question

and it is above petrol,the Road Tax,insurance. shall we keep quiet and take card/cash ready to pay or can we say and stand against that??

Answer 1

No, there are no plans to start charging these levels of fee for road usage.

The current gridlock problems faced by Britain are due to a) not having enough capacity, and b) unprioritized allocation of that capacity. Road pricing schemes have the ability to help solve both problems, by bringing in extra revenue that can be allocated towards road-building/improvement schemes, and by ensuring that at busy times, roads are used only by those who stand to gain the most from them.

Note also that motoring in the UK is currently the cheapest it has been since 1981.

Answer 2

If they're really going to charge that much, people will start to use the country roads instead of the motorways, that will cause much congestion in the villages. It'll do no good for the country. I don't think it'll take many off the roads, it'll just put the cost of living up. A knock on effect.

Answer 3

Bend over and spread!

The government are coming.


Answer is simple, London - Avoid it! Stop doing business with any company there.

Motorways - Use the A roads, allow yourself a day or two extra time.

Sooner or later, when everyone is bankrupt because of the perma-tax, there will be an end to it all.

Stop feeding the beast and it dies!

Answer 4

Oh well I asked on Q & A where are they going to get the lost revenue from when they force eveyone to stop smoking on July 1 next year!! Here's the start of it and it won't end there. It's time for people to shout out in England I think. XX

I in no way theory we'd spend plenty time talking approximately gas as we've interior the previous 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. pass away the gas on my own! Taxing us in keeping with mile is ridiculous. They dont prefer all and sundry to pass everywhere. they're greater desirable off basically taking the money actual out of our examine. that's what there doing besides actual. i think undesirable for you, on account which you pay sufficient gas expenses besides with out them taxing each thing. the government is forcing us to invest in issues we does not commonly.

Now they're attempting to persuade us to by making use of hybrids that are actually not affordable in any respect, noticeably for my kin of five. Now its gas tax. we would desire to constantly do a flesh presser tax. For flesh presser who arise with dumb procedures for us to pay greater.
