Road Charges To Replace Road Tax / Petrol Duty?

A recent BBC report reveals that "The government is planning to replace road tax and petrol duty with road charging"...

Key implications are as follows:

This scheme would replace current vehicle tax and fuel taxation system;

Each driver would be charged for every mile of his or her journey;

Prices would start from as little as 2p a mile on quiet roads outside rush hours;

The maximum price would be £1.34 a mile on busy motorways at peak times;

Current charges of fuel tax and road tax would be scrapped;

A pilot scheme covering a region / large conurbation could operate "within five years";

If all goes well a nationwide scheme could be rolled out within 10 years.

The list will not be used for anything official, but it is good to see how many people object to the anticipated changes.
