MSN poll on road upkeep

[Jagmanv12]

Earlier today there was a poll on MSN asking "What is the best way to pay for the upkeep of Britain's roads?"

The possible answers included :
Introduce more tolls, Raise fuel duty, annual driving tests.

55% voted to introduce more tolls!! As if we don't pay enough already.

I know the results are not scientific but the possible answers did not include the most obvious - Use more of the tax raised from motorists on the roads!!

I'd like to meet the idiot who compiled the answers.

55% of people that responded are housewives at home who use the car rarely to go shopping or see their friends and other 'ladies who lunch'. As such tolls on trunk roads don't affect them and that is what got the most votes.

Cynical, moi?
