Just read this and wondered if it will get the go ahead. What cars will be in the band. When will the b*stards stop hitting the motorists. :headbang:

Of course it's the Daily Mail so taken with a pinch of salt.

Seems the tolls apply to roads that are widened or improved. I'd also not condemn the proposals unti I understood them and which of the huge raft actually come out as viable. The current system of annual excise duty is not a good one and something needs to change.

Living near the M6T I'm all for paying a toll and getting a decent clear road, although I use it mostly on company expenses, but take the Z4 hooning down the A and B roads :wink:
 
Being a Transport Planner... I really can't see this working in practice, and it isn't something I've ever heard discussed in the industry!

Would make my job a hell of a lot harder too... haha
