    BBC News. In an effort to create a level playing field, UK lorries are charged for using European roads, the government is to announce a plan to start charging foreign lorry drivers to use British roads. The A.A. is worried it could lead to a universal road charging scheme for all motorists.

    Can´t see anything wrong with the plan - if UK lorries have to pay in Europe then it should be no surprise if European lorries have to pay a similar fee (quid pro quo). Why it should affect other road users is beyond me Foreign lorries to be charged for using British roads. 3275847336

    Wont be long before they're putting micro chips in cars, drive past a recieiver and get charged. They can already know where you are and where you have been if you leave your phone switched on. Big brother is watching.......
