/// A slice of road tax could be used to pay private firms to run the roads in England and Wales – topped up by the tolls on new

But if this comes about, should we be paying any road tax at all?

I have always said that road tax should be abolished & fuel tax be adopted to pay for road repairs, that way the more you use the roads the more tax you pay. Also all motorways should be toll roads similar to Europe & the U.S. In my opinion the fairest way to tax all road users, ( cyclists should also pay insurance). It's really time to sort the whole system out once & for all.

You all seem to be under the mistaken assumption that road tax pays for the roads. It doesn't and never has.
Toll roads are a complete con. They keep food and produce more expensive because manufacturers are committed to delivering the cheapest prices so they will not pay for expensive tolls roads. Most of us will not pay £10-£20 to our journeys to get here a few minutes earlier so most will not pay tolls.
Toll roads only benefit the rich and affluent. They are full of gas guzzlers and expensive cars. They do not eleviate congestion or lorry jams, they just make it easier for the rich to avoid that.
One road for the plebs and another for the well off.
