I WONDER how many drivers think as I do.
With the fantastic amount of tax the Government receives in fuel duty it should abolish road tax.
After all very little is spent on the roads.
Instead, there should be a concerted effort to make more cycle tracks funded by a tax on bicycles so they may also enjoy the freedom of a designated route.
Instead of raising the motorway speed limit to 80mph there should be a law forcing heavy goods vehicles to stick to the left hand lane of dual carriageways on certain sections.
This works very well in parts of Europe.
