PKB. Car drivers should pay VED to balance out the real cost of motoring, in terms of road accidents, pollution, inefficiency and the economy. Those who don't want to pay it don't need to drive. Car driving is usually a selfish and unnecessary activity, and I don't have a problem with it attracting punitive taxes and fines as a result.

For most of the history of motoring, drivers have nowhere near paid their way; it's no use moaning now that inequity is finally being addressed.
