Duno if this has been posted elsewhere already, but have you all heard about this?! They may start charging up to £1.43 per mile traveled on the busiest roads and/or Motorways!? What a joke!
Here's the story:

What do you all think about it. They will be stopping/lowering (I think) Road Tax and Petrol Tax, but will it help you save in the long run?!

The basic concept is to make road travel dearer to get people to stop using their cars. This has never worked and no matter how sophisticated or 'use targeted' you make it, it will never work.
If you want to stop road use you need a decent public transport system, something we don't even have a shadow of.
