£10 charge on foreign trucks brought forward to 2013
Responsible department: Department for Transport
Why wait till 2015 for this charge to be brought into force,
British Company’s need all the help they can get.
Let us play on a level playing field !
It should be £20 per day 7 days a week !
Thank you for your support and lets us stick together.

£20 a day? Don’t forget you’ll be paying that too. Currently it looks like you’re asking for a hike in costs for UK operators as well as everyone else.

No not at all UK operators will get the cost back, and we are asking for Foreign Truck to pay there way !!
Like I do when I am in Europe …

Yes they get the cost back from a reduction in VED, but at £20 even if they abolised the VED the UK operators would end up paying more. I feel £10 is a good figure.
As much as I applaud your tenacity, I can’t help feeling that this cause is on a hiding to nothing.
My theory is, the government hires hundreds more civil servants to administer the charges, the EU pokes their fat nose into the new trough and swallows up a bellyful of cash, the remainder is whisked off to Africa under the guise of “development” and we are worse off than we were in the beginning. I hope I’m wrong, but I can’t help having this nagging feeling that I’m not. Regards, DD.

I have been told that it works by Vehicle Recognition and has to be paid up front by the internet, which makes sense !!
Thank you for your support …
Surely the only sensible way to do this- is divide the VED class for each incoming truck by 365 and charge that per day that they are in the UK for all foreign trucks- Brits and foreign trucks are then paying the same to use the roads- simples, its fair as UK and foriegn trucks are paying the same so the EU cant stick their nose in, and wont take 5000 civil servants to administer- or is that just a bit to easy
