In advance on the Eddington Review which will propose a tax per mile for roads used, Professor David Begg said that the alternative was to build five times as many roads as are currently proposed. Where are all these extra cars, suggested in this horror-story scenario, supposed to come from?Car ownership figures in the UK are starting to plateau. UK population is not increasing that rapidly. Judging by the figures, the present car ownership figures per household can't increase that much.So where are the extra millions of cars going to come from to produce the predicted nightmare scenario and global melt down?Is the truth not that the government see a way to claw even more than the current £36 billion from road users? (Fat chance that they would actually cut fuel and road tax to ensure that the total take was no more!)
