Default Congestion Charge

It looks like the idea to make extra money out of the poor motorist has taken another step forward with Greater Manchester accepting a congestion charge.

City congestion charge plans backed - Yahoo! News UK

Amazing what a £2.8 billion sweetener will do.

It's got to be good news for electric bikes but I sense the moped raising its ugly head above the humble electric bike when the chips are down

I must look at the world differently: because to me, another tax (that's all the congestion charge is) will do little for the less well off, simply drive them off the road onto the pathetic UK public transport system.
And the well off, they will just pay a little more.
It's a percentage game - it only hurts those at the middle or lower end.

That’s my view - what's yours?
Congestion charge good or bad?
