TAX: With planned tolls on motorways, we ask you if it's too much

Comment Speech Bubble Have your say(108)

DRIVERS face having to pay motorway tolls to beat congestion despite already forking out £45billion a year in taxes, it has emerged.

Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly yesterday confirmed she is considering US-style tolls on designated motorway lanes to give drivers a quicker journey.

There were claims the toll lanes could cost as much as £5 a time but the Department for Transport said it had yet to consider what level they would be set at.

Tolls on the M8 e.g. would be a gold mine. Drivers have no other ways to go from Glasgow to Edinburgh or visa versa. they just wnt to use cogestion as cash cow. and how about satelite tracking? will they abandon road tax? No way.

Just a quicky!
"Global warming is harming our planet
and fossil fuels make this come true
by footprints of carbon from vehicles
even the ones that are new".
If curbing pollution will stop it
(the government say this is so)
then make a decisive decision
tell car makers were they can go!
But this is not what the great plan is,
big thirsty cars still are made
the idea`s to rake in some money
the warming won`t come if you`ve paid.
So gird up your` loins and accept it
All governments are raking it in
and Gordon along with the others
tell us, not to pay, is a sin.

She is looking behind with the driver's door open. Problem is, it is on a motorway at 70 mph.
