I say bring it on. Not cos I want it, but simply because there could then be a mass "no drive" day whereby there would be no fees generated as oppose to the current system where everyone is taxed every twelve months irrespective of road usage.
It seems to be that we are all falling for the old Maggie Thatcher trick whereby they hit us with a major kick in the goolies, then give us just a little bit back to make us feel as though we've achieved something.
Anyone remember the council tax disputes - mine was due to rise from £100 a year to £900 a year. then they capitulated to bring it down to £400 a year - and I felt happy

How dumb was that?
