    We already have a road pricing system. It is the huge tax on fuel. Drive more miles in a big car, pay more. Small car and drive less, pay less. Simple and doesn't need to track and trace us everywhere.

      It’s always seemed strange to me that road tax and insurance isn’t averaged out and applied, per litre, at the pump. Everyone on the road is automatically taxed and insured. No need for discs. Can’t get run into by an uninsured driver. Far less coppers required. Disincentive for unnecessary driving. Also, as insurance companies are private, it seems legally dodgy to force, under penalty of law, the motorist to buy a private product. A state owned, nfp insurance company could supply 3rd party f&t at the pump, so you could still pay privately for more cover.

      How can you fiddle what is yours anyway?! Just think about this, the average working person in the UK is losing AT LEAST 50% of their income in tax! Forget the headline income tax rate, we are taxed on everything! Well, apart from books! We are even double taxed on some things, like motor fuel, where there is fuel duty and vat. Even pensions, if you have a private pension and combined with your state pension your income exceeds the tax threshold, your private pension is taxed at source!! You already paid income tax to pay into that pension, which by virtue of your foresight lessons your dependence on the state, but you taxed again on that anyway! Every time you buy anything the state is taking 20% of that!! Little known fact, before WW2 there was no purchase tax, it was implemented after the end of the war as a TEMPORARY tax to help post war recovery, fair enough, sort of. Except it became permanent! Then, when we joined the Evil Union, we had to HARMONISE retail tax with their plundering method, so it became VAT. How is it VALUE ADDED, where is he value, except for the state?! Then there were 2 rates, if I recall correctly they were 5% and 17.5%, then it was 25% for a while!!!! And now of course 20%. This is an absurd level of tax to pay on retail goods and actively increases inflation!!! The reason for such a heavy tax burden is a government that is woefully inefficient and that has become addicted to easy money instead of doing the job properly and not wasting epic amounts of YOUR cash on utter nonsense like HS2 and illegal immigrant holiday camps. There are something like 70 or 80 thousand civil servants in the UK, all beavering away at thinking up new schemes to dip even more into our wallets and keep themselves employed, at our expense. And they can't even do the job they were actually employed to do. Same applies to councils, probably the biggest wasters of all. People of the UK need to wake up and smell the coffee or what Geoff has highlighted here and much more will get much worse. And remember, it's YOUR money!!!

    It needs to be publicised how they produce these figures and statistics.
    They hold a survey giving 3 or 4 options all of which are unpleasant to varying degrees and none of which include what people actually want.
    Nowhere on the survey is anywhere to record that people reject all of the options [so are forced into choosing the lesser of the evils on the list]
    They then produce a report saying we have spoken to the public and this is what they want. [omitting the fact that the questions were rigged]
    It’s like asking a condemned man how he wants to die, the option of carrying on living isn’t included so the report produced says that he has agreed to die… and by this method.

    May I suggest pre-written letters for us to send to our MP’s to accompany a video. Big Brother watch does something similar via their website - and it makes it very easy for someone without the time to send a well written letter to the people that will need to listen to us. If an MP gets five or six of these letters they have to start to take notice.

      There’s no reason EV can’t pay ‘fuel duty’ either. It can be applied / recovered easily enough from public pay chargers. Home chargers are largely ‘smart chargers’ and most EVs are 4/5G enabled so an EV charge rate could easily be applied to charge taken from a domestic supply. This would even work with 3 pin granny charging.

It was launched as Transport 2000 in February 1973 by the National Union of Railwaymen with the Railway Industry Association, the Liberal Party Environmental Panel and others. In January 2007 it absorbed the Road Block anti-road building campaign led by Rebecca Lush and campaigned for less expenditure on road building. The organisation changed its name from Transport 2000 to Campaign for Better Transport in September 2007.

    They were talking about pay per mile years ago ... doing away with VED and putting an extra tax on fuel so that you would pay per mile AND pay extra if your vehicled was a gas guzzler. It sounded okay until they then added that a payment would still have to be paid per year to keep your vehicle on the system ... a nominal £10 per year. BUT, let's not forget that VED was only £10 per year at one time and who's to say that the introductory £10 per year wouldn't get more expensive to the point we are swallowing the extra petrol (pay per mile) tax AND paying (eventually) £200 per year system tax?

      EV's dont pay fuel tax: They don't pay a levvie on electricity either. So adding more tax to fuel doesn't do anything about EV's and the torque they produce that rips up the roads (it's not simply the weight of them - it's their accelleration due to the amount of rotational force they produce from a standing start - heavy vehicles taking corners too quickly adds to that, but seriously - EV's are a massive contributor to road surface deterioration.
      So EV's should be paying more than petrol for their miles. OR just to be on the road. But they don't.
      BTW - Launch control or torque management would solve most of this but I doubt EV drivers would be happy with that - they like out accelerating petrol cars - kind of like showing off. Well, it is showing off. Oh, not all EV drivers are like that - some don't like how fast they are. But I know way too many who are.

      Make your own fuel out of waste plastic and pay no fuel tax or VAT. It is a process known as pyrolysis and can be done in your own backyard. Moonshine or Poitín for cars. Plenty of RUclips tutorials.

    Just a big thank you Geoff. It takes a lot of time to research all this rather depressing work being done being our backs. Very few would know if it wasn't for your videos, keep it up sir!

    Yep, Southampton is a mess of cameras and terrible new restrictive road layouts and with insane amounts of traffic lights, which are very handy for all these cameras and god only knows what else that is on them. Very pleased to see someone has been out spray painting many of the 20 speed limit signs!! Big shout out to whoever has done that!! 😊👋👍

    What a great piece. Some how I stumbled across this and definitely subscribing now. 👍 it’s always been the plan to change by the mile as they can’t tax electric to the same amount they do for petroleum products as we wouldn’t be able to afford to turn a light on let alone cook or heat a house. So pay per mile was always the end game. Oh, and track the living # out of the population. Great piece, thanks.
