Motorists don't pay enough!         


Author: mrnatural16

A study by the Institute of Transport at Leeds University, 'Surface
Transport Costs Report' at www.its.leeds.ac.uk, shows that motorists
may
only contribute as little as one third of the marginal costs they
incur.

Costs 13.8 pence/km

Revenue 4.5 pence/km

This is a national disgrace that should be remedied PDQ!

And what proportion of the revenue from motorists is actually spent by the
government on the costs that the motorists incur?

retrieve a dead bird and got yourself knocked down, Bollen? Don't you
think you're milking it a bit after all this time?
