One that's too slow…
"'Total toll system' for UK roads Tolls and congestion charging arouse strong feelings. Future plans for tolls on Britain's roads will include all roads, not just the busiest, it has been reported.
It had been suggested earlier that an in-car satellite tracking system could bill drivers for school runs and travelling on motorways at rush hour."

Well it seems our beloved Government has now admitted we are all going to pay extra for using the roads, saw this on the BBC this weekend, check out this link for the story;

Of course there is one positive outcome to fitting all cars with satellite tracking, GATSO's would become obsolete as you would shop yourself if you speed!

It's freedom Jim, but not as we know it!
 
Well what a surprise !!!!!

Just another way for the government to put their hand in my pocket, and I dont believe for one minute the bit about reducing road tax and fuel duty to compensate.

By my calculations that's anything up to £40 to travel the 250 miles from here to Surrey to visit family, a journey I make 6 to 8 times a year :crazy:
