Apparently we are all to be taxed for using the motorways from 2014. Later perhaps. the system is to be expanded to all roads.
The gov.thinks we will soon mostly be driving electric cars, this is probably to rake in the tax not paid by electric car drivers I think. Tough shit if you end up not driving an electric car and paying both petrol tax and new road tax.
I bet the present road tax will be kept as well.
