if the jam rolls can do it then why the **** is it so hard for our over paid t***ers in westminster to sort it out for this country

because successive governments could not be arsed to do any thing
as regards a road charge, for years in fact since the EURO-Vignette
come into force and forever after wards :frowning:

and the fact that we put up with letting the shove our road tax n fuel duty so high they dont need to bother with the hassel of sorting out they can carry on sorting out who they are going to get to paint there duck house or gutting the grass :wink:

CRAIG-D:

We really don’t want it in this country. The last thing UK hauliers need at the moment is more costs to use the roads. Polish trucks will be paying the new system in their country and any system introduced here will have to be paid by UK hauliers as well as foreign.

Fuel in Europe isn’t much cheaper than here anymore, other than in Lux.
Holland €1.39 / l, Germany €1.45. France is between those two. Belgium is a bit cheaper than Holland and Lux is a bit cheaper again (roughly €1.20,)
The exchange rate is around £1.00 - €1.10, thats what you get when you change pound notes for euro notes.

UK Road tax for a 44 tonner is £1,350 per year.
A days Euro-vignette is €8 which is €2,920 a year at the daily rate, although you can bring the daily rate down by quite a bit if you buy it by the week, month or year.
In Germany trucks don’t pay a set road tax, they pay per kilometre at €0.155, so a run from Venlo to Munchen and back costs about €250, for two days work.
In France, Spain and Italy you pay tolls to use motorways (as is the German tax). You can therefore avoid paying road tax, by not using motorways. You’ll use a lot more fuel and take quite a bit longer to do a trip., but you don’t have to pay motorway taxes if you really don’t want to. I doubt there’s much financial advantage to doing that though.

As you can see, the UK aren’t the only ones paying through the nose to keep their country moving.
