If our Government and the EU would think in a sensible but simple manner, Then all road funding throughout the EU could be streamlined.
Each member state should charge a lorry about £1000 per year in domestic road tax.
If the haulier wishes to cross borders, Then he should be charged a further £1000 per year for EU road tax.
No tolls, Vignettes, or pay per km.
I don’t think Scottish or Irish firms should have to pay any extra to come here though.
Our boss was joking about this today saying we will need to find somewhere in grenta to do our switch instead of southwaite 
more scaremongering
Please tell me I’m not the only one who read that link as “Explore ■■■■” and was very careful about pressing it?
all we need to do is charge English and Welsh hauliers to use our roads, seems like a pointless exercise.

They have their own currency already, similar to ours, But no sod south of Lancaster accepts it.

I always ask for “English” notes when I’m due back south and they look at me gone out behind the counter, until I tell em it’s a right pain in the arse to get them accepted especially in boozers 
I love doing a big shop at asda with Northern Irish £50 notes. The bigger the que the better.
