not easy this question.
the majority of the high mileage boys would not be concerned as their operator companies would foot the bill and then put this on their tins of beans etc.
the big "chelse tractor" owners who are now paying £700. for their road tax, would gain, as most of them are just going down the road to take little johny to school, blocking driveways and looking down on everyone.
so if you have an old merc. and you are paying £180. for your tax disc, then you will loose out when you are paying £1.30 / litre.
(£5.20/gall).
may be the toll roads are the way forward, at least you have choice.
i always use the birmingham toll road, but it started at £2, and is currently
£5, again the businesses and company cars do not care if it reaches £10, they are not paying, indirectly, we are. what is your opinion ? herbiemercman.
