The thought of spending 2 hours going 5 miles, or whatever, means I will never live anywhere else.
That'll reduce congestion....
And same for anyone who parks on double yellows. Especialy if they claim "it's only for 10 minutes"
Instead of pricing people off the road they should be offering employers tax breaks to have a percentage of their workforce telecommuting, and investing in the e-infrastructure to make that happen.
Thats the quickest and surest way to take cars off the road.
Apparently..........
I'd put proximity activated landmines in box junctions
I could really handle not forking out £200 a month for petrol to start with.
The inference seems to be that we all want to commute and for that we should be punished. Wrong!
Unfortunately for those of us who do not, it will not ease congestion just make money for the government.
We have been looking for a couple of employees recently and unless they have their own transport it is pretty much out of the question for them to even come for an interview.
It is unfair on people who will have to pay it in certain areas, they will not drop fuel tax to compensate. How are these people supposed to travel to work??
Rant over. Thanks for the opportunity:-)
The whole national road network is not congested all the time. As such, as national scheme is inherently unfair. Localised ideas need to be given to local problems.
People out there on the roads doing their business at 11am are probably not causing any problem.. so why should they suffer??
We already pay a pricing structure via petrol tax. The more you drive, the more you pay. Why change it and add extra tax..?? It is simply not fair. It is also unworkable. Some people drive now without tax or insurance. Why should we assume they are going to buy a 'black box'..??
End of story.
Re-introduce free school buses.
Reduce road tax for lorries that only use the roads at night.
Get more freight off the roads and back onto the rails.
Do summat about the shite public transport system in this country.
Have more, and better, cycle lanes.
The problem has been caused by government policy, and now they want to charge us for the privilage!
Son goes to secondary school nearly 5 miles away and it costs us a tenner a week. The local school is an arts specialist college, which doesn't even offer seperate sciences at GCSE, while the one he goes to is specialist maths and science.
At primary school, parents park up to half an hour before school finishes, to save having to walk more than 10 yards. I suggested to 1 mum she could park outside my house and walk, but she told me it was too far to walk! We, naturally take our private helicopter to and from school!
Love the idea about activated mines in yellow junctions.
