Indeed!  While I don't mind (much!) paying a toll on a new road that's designed to bypass a congested area, as the M6 toll road bypasses Birmingham, 
if they start charging for existing roads it will really get up my goat - we already pay a huge amount for owning and using cars, and an added charge 
to try to reduce usage (which it will achieve only slightly, and is just another money-gouging scheme) is definately a step too far!

I have a lot of ideas how to tackle road congestion in Britain, none of which involve increasing the cost!
