Ministers scrap congestion targets

[sayerbloke]

As seen here

"MOTORISTS will waste an extra day a year sitting in traffic jams by 2010, according to government targets that assume that congestion will worsen despite efforts to control it."

[sufu]

if they scrap congestion targets, shouldn't they scrap the congestion charge too...

[bullett]

More cost

More time

More Cameras

More Scum

More unlicensed and un-insured drivers

Less fun

I dunno why we bothing even thinking about buying and running a nice car in the UK today in any sort of legal form.

I reckon put up some more speed cameras, in genuine danger spots, and pump the money made directly back into those police CCTV vans, where they spot untaxed/uninsured drivers.

Heck, id happily pay congestion charges, if the money went to improve the roads, or put more police on the roads.

Trouble is Snail, more cops = more speed traps/laser swingers, it's a circle of crap, these guys just get paid for hiding up slip-roads and nicking U & I not working to catch the real villans.

I'll happily never break a speed limit again, if it means getting rid of middle lane drivers, people who do 40 in every different speed limit, etc etc.
