[Scorpion]

If i was guaranteed a jam free (so 70mph) trip I'd pay a toll anytime.............

I get paid hourly so less time in the car is more mods oops wages ...

I even pay more to park closer to my work in Romford as I earn more in the 10 minutes it takes to walk than to pay the fee..............

Joys of self employment

so you've gotta pay a toll to sit in that carpark around Brum - nasty!!!

I'm off up north tomorrow - gonna go M1 / A50 I reckon

There's a special offer on it's only a £1 for the first million peeps. or some such big number.

Beware though it's phased over 5 days ( the opening ) so you might not be able to go where you want !!!

This opens today.

The cynic in me wonders when they'll start charging people for speeding based on the toll booth times as they do on the continent.

My bet is they'll give it 6 months for people to get used to it & wait for a high profile accident or other news story to 'justify' speeding fines.

Rant over. (Must have got out of wrong side of bed today ;) )

As this is a private road, what's to stop the owners introducing higher speed limits?! - That would be a good marketing tool and well worth the £3 charge :)

I heard the toll for police cars with speed monitoring equipment was £10,000 per day.

Still probably make huge profit for their christmas box even at that price
