Absolute bullshit. (sorry)

You can't charge people up to 45 pence per mile, and reduce their petrol costs by 2-12 pence. Even allowing for the abolition of road tax, it still puts the government in profit at the expense of the driver. I have a very low anual mileage, but still estimate that it will cost me more per year under this scheme.

If this were to be actioned fairly, petrol costs should plummet by at the very least 30p per litre.

That is my opinion on that hair brained scheme. Although, if I were doing their job, I'd work to reducing traffic congestion by developing a suitable and reliable public transport system.

Public transport should be what the future of society and it's travels is based on. Instead it is being treated like, and rapidly becoming and out moded concept.
