We Already Have Traffic Charging!
Sometimes the simplest answers are the best. The ugly face of Congestion Charging is rearing it's ugly head again, and the Government is wasting millions of pounds developing new technologies to keep track of when and where we drive. Excuse me! Can someone tell me why we don't just add the charges onto the price of petrol? The more you drive, the more it costs, it's as simple as that. And while you're at it, why not get rid of road tax as well?
It's not that I want the price of petrol to go up any more, but I'd rather that than the constant spending on news ways to charge the motorist. The main problem is, once you've bought a car and paid for the tax, MOT, insurance etc.. etc.., what's the point of using public transport? It's cheaper to use the car!
