Road Pricing on the A3

I have heard that the A3 will be one of the possible test roads for 'pay as you go' Road Tax. This is particulary bad for me but I am now wondering how long this has been in the planning. Over the past year a series of cameras have been installed the lengton of the A3 from at least Guilford to London. I wonder if the government has already decided on this policy or it might just be coincidence. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

Going on what has been written in the stock e mail reply from10 Downing Street to all signatories on the now infamous road pricing petition VA. I would say that this has been in the planning for a long time.

I get the impression that Tony Blair and his government are sticking two fingers up at the general motorist again. Saying, we understand that you are all concerned about the proposed road pricing policy, but tough doggy doo doo, we're going ahead with it anyway !! Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

I have a far more simple solution. Make the 1 in 15 motorists on the road who pay either no tax or insurance pay. That should bring in loads of money and no law abiding tax payer would complain - surely a vote winner. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

What cameras are you referring to? I haven't seen any cameras that could be used for such a purpose on the Guildford stretch of the A3? Darren Griffin

Good point about those cameras, VA. I wondered what they were when they were putting them up....

Darren - they're on tall white poles and run from Guildford, up past Ripley services to at least the M25.
