ive only ever used the inbound bridges when coming north or from London, otherwise its Ross and Monmouth for me
i do have a M6 toll tag i the car, and enjoy seeing the flash cars who have just blasted past me paying by card or cash as i whizz thru at 40mph, no stopping, i use the toll road 5 or 6 days a week heading home
We have a tag for the car as mrs works across the bridge but not worth paying for the van as its £110 a month pretty much now!!! I knowpaying to come here!!! Paying the otherway I could understand... well it is owned by the French!! lol

Yeah,I agree..there are many "anomalies" when it come to exemptions/benefits/"handouts" etc..and without "means testing" everything,there always will be...
..having said that,if they did bring in means testing,then a good many pensioners wouldn't be getting the "winter fuel allownce"..
(.. a good deal of which spent on their Christmas wine and sherry shop! )
Allowances/Benefits have always been the same....everyone gets em if they qualify....you can always return them you know. I doubt anyone will tho' .I will certainly be keeping my Fuel allowance....its the only 1 I get...and is spent already on the first delivery, and 2nd pending of LOGS!
I will be warm at Chriggy and any change will be used to pay tolls from here to wherever....enjoy

its the blatant abuse of the whole disability/mobility/blue badges, etc that sickens me, watch the "disabled" leap out of cars and run into Tescos or Sainsbury's (new cars at that) - how do they scam it?
