The Labour government and their addiction to road pricing

It doesn't matter how often people say that they don't want road pricing, how many people sign petitions, how much market research is done, this Labour government need to raise taxes and motorists will have to bear a large part of the burden. The Telegraph report that:
"Paul Clark, the Transport Minister, told a conference of road-pricing experts about plans to introduce tolls on specific lanes of motorways or hard shoulders.

On top of the predicted £1.30-a-mile charge he did not rule out an additional toll for cars that emit the highest levels of carbon dioxide.

Mr Clark said trials into road-pricing would start in the new year, with hundreds of drivers taking part in test runs."
