I try to avoid motorways as much as possible anyway but if it means hitting decent roads or getting the ferry home sooner I would just be paying it.What's another 20 quid on top of your holiday?....and that's coming from a Scotsman! :laugh:
Re: Autobahn toll roads coming....
I wonder if toll payment apps will be still working with these. Or maybe there are some apps already? https://www.uproad.com/toll-point/sr-12 ... how-to-pay or something like this

Re: Autobahn toll roads coming....
We suppositly pay road tax to use the roads, but we know not all the road tax collected goes on maintaining the roads.
But lets quickly look at road tax, there are different bands for different vehicals, are these different vehicals causing more wear on the road.
Obviously lorries cause more wear, but different cars and bikes, I think not.
This is the sort of policy that goverments are forced into when they are short of money because the country is failing.

Re: Autobahn toll roads coming....
It seems ironic that one of the countries complaining is Austria. Not only do they have a motorway vignette like the Swiss, but then you can get charged for some motorways and tunnels on top of this. I try to avoid motorways whether at home or abroad so hopefully it won’t effect me. I have never understood why the UK chooses not to ask foreigner drivers to pay road tax when they come in, it would be easy for us to do. This is nothing to do with us being in the EU or not, as we did not charge them before we joined. It just seems like throwing money away to me, especially as most EU citizens are used to paying tolls.
Nowadays are own road tax system is utterly shambolic and makes no sense. How can a Euro 4 compliant motorcycle have to pay tax when many cars don’t?
