Road-fees scheme 'not definite'

Peter Roberts Quote "The cost of the technology and the infrastructure would be far better spent on improving the railways and the public transport system"

Ah, but this provides a greedy government with the opportunity to tax the population even more! They won't pass up on it if they can generate extra revenue in the name of 'saving the environment' as well as decongesting the roads.
