I totally agree! on TalkRadio this morning there was a debate about this

toll road and most callers supported it! I thought you bunch of morons!
Only
a small amount of the road tax we pay gets spent on the roads, the rest

stolen and wasted by other government departments. There lies the

problem! why on earth anybody thinks we should have to pay an extra tax
to
use a new road that should ALREADY be funded by our road tax I do not

Plenty of people are happy (well- 'uncomplaining' might be a better word)
about the dozens of prior examples of similar 'pay to drive' facilities:

Severn Bridge x2
Humber Bridge
Dartford crossings
Mersey crossings
etc

None of which would have been built by the Government in power at the
times, if private funding had not been around to build them.

if the govt spent road tax money on these projects(ie.road-issues) which it
could easily afford to do and gasp isn't it actually meant to? no private
funding would be needed.
