from a musing on another thread, and hopefully some light relief after talking about abortion/benefits/ freaking controlled crying....
Governement raised £50 billion (figure from Top Gear) in fuel tax - and spends 6 billion on roads - leaving some areas with totally ridiculous under-capacity.
e.g the A27 which goes down to 1 lane in several places causing traffic misery every day even when there aren't accidents. This road carries as much traffic as the M6.
encouraging people to use trains has filled the existing network - we need more roads! and more railways! not more taxes.
the road charging plans to charge me for sitting in queues that the government could reduce by building proper bypasses are a scandal!
so...AIBU with this rant??

AIBU?
to think that the government is wrong to want to charge us for sitting in traffic queues it has caused by its under-investment in roads?
