OK, that I can understand.

Untaxed lorries etc. are not an issue (I think) so why don't we leave the 'heavies' as they are but introduce a fuel surcharge for cars etc?

It can be levied at point of sale by the garage/petrol station.

Not to complicated to set up and everyone is then happy.

Only problem is how do you deal with the foreign lorries who use our roads and, currently, pay nothing for the privelige.

Maybe a fuel surcharge is the answer as the revenue gained from foriegn lorries would mean that we could subsidise our own hauliers.

Might also cut back on the foriegn hauliers and generate more work for our own lads?
