What will it take for Blair and co to realise that road tolls went out with Highwaymen.

http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/articl ... 01,00.html


And this choice bit of idiocy
“There will be plenty of volunteers when drivers realise all the other benefits,” he said
Like paying more to go to work, a holiday in the UK costing more than going to Spain by road etc..............................


He said that drivers who had not paid would escape detection on some journeys because they would not encounter any spy cars. “But that would not matter because it would only tend to happen when a driver was on empty roads,”


Would any MP with sanity left on road issues please hold up their hand

Reads more like the USSR when Lavrenti Beria was head of the KGB.

Could make driving one of the million "government owned 'spy' cars" a potentially hazardous occupation.

err... on their credit/debit cards??

So let's say I'm travelling up north this weekend. Never been there, don't know the roads, might do a bit of random touring anyway.... how the f*ck do I pay for that in advance if all the roads have a different rate? Have these idiots ever driven a car?
