> The only people being forced of the road are the under-privileged, those who can't afford electric vehicles by ULEZ, those who can't afford maintenance with poor roads, skyrocketing insurance, high fuel prices, ever increasing taxes, unfair parking charges for those using polluting Diesels who we encouraged and subsidised to buy them a few short years ago, and those who rely on them for their work or trade. No, the people who are currently forced off the road are the people who are worse off than that, the people who can't afford cars at all. The mass of cars choking the streets makes life difficult or impossible for those who have to rely on cycling or buses, which is what being actually unprivileged looks like. To say nothing of the people literally dying from air pollution. > The only people who _won't_ be forced off of the road, are the privileged. There are simply too many vehicles on the roads. Some of them need to go. Either we charge a fair price and then at least the wealthy are contributing something that can be spent on helping the rest of us. Or we do something else, and the wealthy will still find a way round it but won't pay anything towards the public good. > the infrastructure continues to suffer after all of the public funds have been pocketed by the privileged for improved transport that was never delivered, while the roads are lined with processions of Chelsea tractors ignoring 20mph limits. So if investing in transport improvements is no good and taking cars off the road is no good, what do you actually want? Other than to complain on the internet, which will still be allowed in any scenario.
