What have I missed?

Potholes
The MG/Rover debacle
Vanished traffic police
Fuel duty
T.F.L
M4 bus lane
New car registration fee
RFL increases

Slight increase in speed cameras springs to mind.

I don't have the figures to hand and can't be bothered to Google it but I suspect the % increase in Scameras (and fine-derived income) since they came to power is pretty massive.

You've hardly scratched the surface...
CO2% based car tax
No new investment in road infrastructure
Potholes not being repaired
Speed cameras
Scrappage election bribe scheme
etc etc etc ad nauseam

To anyone thinking of voting libdem - it's written in their manifesto that they'll lay the plans for a national gps-based road pricing scheme in their first Parliament.

I've no idea why the tories haven't plugged their fuel price stabiliser pledge more (oil prices go up, fuel duty comes down, and vice versa), that'd make headlines with fuel prices as they are these days!
